Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Outlook Web Access. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The software does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied e-mail messages before displaying the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted e-mail that, when viewed 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 Microsoft Outlook Web Access 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.
Scripting code can be injected into attachments. HTML code can be injected into attachments and the message body.
The following versions are affected:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Pack 3 with the August 2004
- Exchange 2000 Server Post-Service Pack 3 Update Rollup
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2
The vendor was notified on October 27, 2005.
