Magic Winmail Server user.php cross-site scripting
| magic-winmail-userphp-xss (19113) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Magic Winmail Server is a POP3 and SMTP server for Microsoft Windows platforms. Magic Winmail Server version 4.0 Build 1112 and possibly earlier versions running on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input in the user.php script. A remote attacker with an account on Winmail Server could create a entry using the userinfo.php script containing malicious embedded script, which would be executed in the Winmail Server administrator's Web browser, once the user.php script is used to view the malicious information. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the administrator's cookie-based authentication credentials.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of Magic Winmail Server (4.0 Build 1318 or later), available from the Winmail Server Web site. See References.
