Alex Birnberg discovered a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Horde Application Framework, more precisely its Text Filter API.
An attacker could take control of a user’s mailbox by sending a crafted e-mail.
CVE-2021-26929
An XSS issue was discovered in Horde Groupware Webmail Edition (where the Horde_Text_Filter library is used). The attacker can send a plain text e-mail message, with JavaScript encoded as a link or email that is mishandled by preProcess in Text2html.php, because bespoke use of \x00\x00\x00 and \x01\x01\x01 interferes with XSS defenses.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.5-1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your php-horde-text-filter packages.
For the detailed security status of php-horde-text-filter please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/php-horde-text-filter
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
