| Detailed Description |
The Microsoft Outlook Web Access service is vulnerable to a remote URI redirection vulnerability. Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) service running Windows 2003 could allow a remote attacker to redirect URL requests, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks. The vulnerability is caused due to a design error in the way OWA uses an unverified user supplied argument to redirect a user after successful authentication. This can be exploited by tricking a user into following a link from a HTML document to the trusted login page with a malicious "url" parameter. After successful authentication, the user will be redirected to the untrusted (fake) site.
