CommuniGate Pro WebMail < 5.2.15 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 40418

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the remote web server is from a version of CommuniGate Pro older than 5.2.15. The webmail component of such versions fails to correctly parse plaintext email messages containing malicious URL links before displaying the message to the user. By sending a specially crafted email message to the victim's email address, an attacker may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the user's browser session every time the email message is read.

Solution

Upgrade to CommuniGate Pro 5.2.15 or later.
