Synopsis
The remote web server is affected by a URL injection vulnerability.Description
The remote host is running Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2003.Due to a lack of sanitization of the user input, the remote version of this software is vulnerable to URL injection that can be exploited to redirect a user to a different, unauthorized web server after authenticating to OWA. This unauthorized site could be used to capture sensitive information by appearing to be part of the web application.
Solution
Upgrade to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 as that reportedly addresses the issue.Alternatively, edit the 'logon.asp' script used by OWA and hardcode a value for 'redirectPath' in line 54.
