Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.4.4. There is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in rcube_washtml.php because JavaScript code can occur in the CDATA of an HTML message.

Se detectó un problema en Roundcube Webmail versiones anteriores a 1.4.4. Se presenta una vulnerabilidad de tipo cross-site scripting (XSS) en el archivo rcube_washtml.php porque el código JavaScript puede aparecer en el CDATA de un mensaje HTML.

It was discovered that roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers, did not correctly process and sanitize requests. This would allow a remote attacker to perform either a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) forcing an authenticated user to be logged out, or a Cross-Side Scripting (XSS) leading to execution of arbitrary code.
