Atmail WebMail < 6.2.0 (6.20) 'MailType' Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 49696

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its version, the Atmail WebMail install on the remote host is earlier than 6.2.0 (6.20). Such versions are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability because they fail to sanitize the 'MailType' parameter before using it to generate dynamic HTML content.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Solution

Upgrade to Atmail WebMail 6.2.0 (6.20) or later.
