WorldClient HTML tags cross-site scripting
| worldclient-html-xss (46688) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
MDaemon Server WorldClient is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted email containing script code embedded within HTML tags to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
