medium Nessus Plugin ID 18140

Synopsis

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. An attacker may be able to run arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser within the context of the affected website if the user reads email using ArGoSoft's web interface.

Solution

Upgrade to ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro 1.8.7.7 or later.
