| Detailed Description |
A version of SquirrelMail which is older than version 1.4.6 is detected as installed on the host. SquirrelMail is a Web mail system written in PHP4. SquirrelMail versions prior to 1.4.6 are vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting and IMAP-injection vulnerabilities, which are due to the application's failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage any of the cross-site scripting issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks. CRLF injection vulnerability (aka "IMAP injection vulnerability") in SquirrelMail 1.4.0 to 1.4.5 could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary IMAP commands via newline characters in the mailbox parameter of the sqimap_mailbox_select command.
* 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.
