I note that with the release of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) 2.5.1, a
security flaw has been resolved:

http://www.gwtproject.org/release-notes.html#Release_Notes_2_5_1_RC1
("Security Fixes")

The release notes state: Fixed an XSS vulnerability in html files
used by GWTTestCase (patch). These files will only be included in a
GWT app if it depends on the JUnit module. Despite the fix, this is
not recommended.

The patch is here: 
https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/detail?r=11385

I have reproduced this flaw and can confirm it is reflected XSS. I
have previously contacted security@google asking for CVE IDs for
GWT flaws, but never received a response. Please assign a CVE ID to
this flaw.

Thanks

So according to
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/cna.html
Google is a CVE Numbering Authority but I can't find a CVE in google
(irony?) for this so I guess they missed it. Please use CVE-2013-4204
for this issue.
