Microsoft Exchange UTF character set cross-site scripting
| exchange-utf-xss (33887) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Exchange is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by an improperly marked UTF character set label in Outlook Web Access. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially-crafted email with a UTF encoded attachment which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the email is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
