Summary :

The remote mail server is affected by multiple flaws.

Description :

The version of ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro installed on the remote host
suffers from several vulnerabilities, including :

- Unauthenticated Account Creation Vulnerability
The application does not authenticate requests sent through
the web interface before creating mail accounts and may
create them even if ArGoSoft has been configured not to.

- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
ArGoSoft fails to filter some HTML tags in email messages

eg, the SRC parameter in an IMG tag. A possible hacker may be
able to run arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's

the user reads email using ArGoSoft's web interface.
