Courier: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in SqWebMail Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-02 (Courier: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in SqWebMail) Luca Legato found that SqWebMail is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. An XSS attack permits a possible hacker to insert malicious code into a web-based application. SqWebMail doesn't filter appropriately data coming from message headers before displaying them. Impact By sending a carefully crafted message, a possible hacker can inject and execute script code in the victim's browser window. This permits to modify the behaviour of the SqWebMail application, and/or leak session information such as cookies to the attacker. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version of Courier.
