According to its banner, the version of CuteNews on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize input to the 'archive' parameter of the show_archives.php script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

The version of Moodle on the remote host contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting attack due to the application not properly validating the 'reply' variable on submission to the 'post.php' script.

This allows a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

The remote host appears to be running BasiliX version 1.1.1 or lower. Such versions are vulnerable to a cross-scripting attack whereby an attacker may be able to cause a victim to unknowingly run arbitrary JavaScript code in his browser simply by reading a MIME message with a specially crafted Content-Type header.

The remote host seems to be running the WackoWiki CGI suite.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack that may allow an attacker to use the remote host to perform attacks against third-party users.

The remote host appears to be running a BasiliX version 1.1.0 or lower. Such versions are vulnerable to cross-scripting attacks since they do not filter HTML tags when showing a message.  As a result, an attacker can include arbitrary HTML and script code in a message and have that code executed by the user's browser when it is viewed.

The target is running at least one instance of SquirrelMail whose version number is between 1.2.0 and 1.2.10 inclusive.  Such versions do not properly sanitize From headers, leaving users vulnerable to XSS attacks.  Further, since SquirrelMail displays From headers when listing a folder, attacks does not require a user to actually open a message, only view the folder listing.

For example, a remote attacker could effectively launch a DoS against a user by sending a message with a From header such as :

From:John Doe<script>document.cookie='PHPSESSID=xxx; path=/';</script><>

which rewrites the session ID cookie and effectively logs the user out.

***** Nessus has determined the vulnerability exists on the target
***** simply by looking at the version number(s) of Squirrelmail
***** installed there.

Note : Nessus has determined the vulnerability exists on the target simply by looking at the version number of IMP installed there; it has not attempted to actually exploit the vulnerability.

The target is running at least one instance of Open WebMail whose version is 2.32 or earlier.  Such versions are vulnerable to a cross- site scripting attack whereby an attacker can cause a victim to unknowingly run arbitrary JavaScript code by reading a MIME message with a specially crafted Content-Type or Content-Description header.
