Alt-N MDaemon < 24.5.1 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 237196

Synopsis

A mail server on the remote Windows host is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of MDaemon that is earlier than 24.5.1. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker can send an HTML e-mail message with JavaScript in an img tag. This could allow a remote attacker to load arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of a webmail user's browser window.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MDaemon Email Server version 24.5.1 or later.
