- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities. Using a specially-crafted URL or email message, an attacker may be able to exploit these flaws, stealing cookie-based session identifiers and thereby hijacking SquirrelMail sessions.
- Post Variable Handling Vulnerabilities - Using specially-crafted POST requests, an attacker may be able to set random variables in the file 'options_identities.php', which could lead to accessing other users' preferences, cross-site scripting attacks, and writing to arbitrary files.
Solution
