| Detailed Description |
A version of SquirrelMail which is older than version 1.4.5-RC1 is detected as installed on the host. SquirrelMail is a Web mail system written in PHP4. SquirrelMail versions prior to 1.4.5-RC1 are vulnerable to unspecified cross-site scripting attacks. These vulnerabilities could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of SquirrelMail installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
