Such versions ship with a version of WorldClient (a webmail client) that is affected by a script injection vulnerability. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted email, an attacker can exploit this issue to execute script code in the user's browser in the security context of the affected application and thereby steal cookie-based credentials or launch other attacks.
