Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squirrelmail, a commonly used webmail system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CAN-2005-1769 Martijn Brinkers discovered cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML in the URL and e-mail messages.
CAN-2005-2095
James Bercegay of GulfTech Security discovered a vulnerability in the variable handling which could lead to attackers altering other people’s preferences and possibly reading them, writing files at any location writable for www-data and cross site scripting.
