Descriptions

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in compose.php in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 through 1.4.9a allows remote attackers to send e-mails from arbitrary users via certain data in the SRC attribute of an IMG element.

Vulnerabilidad de falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados (CSRF) en el compose.php del SquirrelMail 1.4.0 hasta la 1.4.9a permite a atacantes remotos enviar correos electrónicos desde usuarios de su elección, a través de determinados datos en el atributo SRC de un elemento IMG.

A number of HTML filtering bugs were found in SquirrelMail that could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript leading to cross-site scripting attacks by sending an email viewed by a user within SquirrelMail. As well, SquirrelMail did not sufficiently check arguments to IMG tags in HTML messages that could be exploited by an attacker by sending arbitrary email messages on behalf of a SquirrelMail user tricked into opening a maliciously-crafted HTML email message.
