IlohaMail Email Header XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 14634

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running at least one instance of IlohaMail version 0.8.12 or earlier. Such versions do not properly sanitize message headers, leaving users vulnerable to XSS attacks. For example, a remote attacker could inject JavaScript code that steals the user's session cookie and thereby gain access to that user's account.

Solution

Upgrade to IlohaMail version 0.8.13 or later.
