AXIGEN Webmail < 7.1.0 HTML Body Script Insertion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 38911

Language:

Synopsis

The remote webmail service is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of AXIGEN Webmail running on the remote host is earlier than 7.1.0. Such versions fail to fully sanitize text in the body of email messages. If an attacker can trick a user into opening a specially crafted message using the affected webmail application, this can be leveraged to inject malicious HTML and script code into the user's browser, to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Solution

Upgrade to AXIGEN version 7.1.0 or later.
