Description: A vulnerability was reported in Sun Java System and iPlanet Messaging Servers. A remote user can cause arbitrary javascript to be executed on the target user's system.
The webmail interface does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input within an e-mail message.
A remote user can send a specially crafted e-mail message that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code
to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the webmail software and will run in
the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication
cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take
actions on the site acting as the target user.
Sun credits Seth Hall of Ohio State University with reporting this vulnerability.
