The HTML filter fails to perform validation checks on HTTP requests which could allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted HTML email, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to delete arbitrary email messages or purge previously deleted email messages.
