The remote host is running IceWarp Merak Mail Server, a webmail server for Windows and Linux.
The remote version of IceWarp fails to sanitize user input to the 'message ’ parameter of the ‘admin/index.html’ script before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user’s browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
