| Detailed Description |
The BasiliX Webmail installed on the Web server, according to its version number, has a Subject and Message Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
BasiliX is a PHP and Internet Messaging Access Protocol (IMAP) based Web mail program that uses the MySQL database server. BasiliX Webmail versions 1.1.0 and earlier are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting vulnerability, caused by a failure of the application to properly filter script codes in the Subject or message field. By creating a specially crafted E-Mail containing malicious code in 'Subject' and 'message' field and persuading the target user to view it, a remote attacker could cause the code to be executed in the target's Web browser, once the message is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the target's cookie-based authentication credentials.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote BasiliX Web mail to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
