Horde IMP with MSIE MIME Viewer Email Message XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 13857

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote server is running at least one instance of IMP whose version number is 3.2.4 or lower. Such versions are vulnerable to a cross-scripting attack whereby an attacker may be able to inject arbitrary content, including script, in a specially crafted MIME message. To have an effect, the victim must be using Internet Explorer to access IMP and be using the inline MIME viewer for HTML messages.

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.

Solution

Upgrade to IMP version 3.2.5 or later.
