Descriptions

Through a malicious URL that contained a quote character it was possible to inject HTML code in KMail's plaintext viewer. Due to the parser used on the URL it was not possible to include the equal sign (=) or a space into the injected HTML, which greatly reduces the available HTML functionality. Although it is possible to include an HTML comment indicator to hide content.

A través de una URL maliciosa que contenía un caracter de comillas era posible inyectar código HTML en el visor de texto plano de KMail. Debido al analizador utilizado en la URL no fue posible incluir el signo igual (=) o un espacio dentro del HTML inyectado, lo que reduce enormemente la funcionalidad HTML disponible. Aunque es posible incluir un comentario indicador de HTML para ocultar el contenido.
