TITLE:
SquirrelMail Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA25200

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/25200/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SquirrelMail 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/288/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in SquirrelMail, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) SquirrelMail does not sanitise charsets in HTML or JavaScript data
before sending it to browsers. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site by sending malicious HTML emails.

Reportedly, this affects Internet Explorer only.

2) The script compose.php allows users to perform certain actions via
HTTP requests without performing validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. send emails from another
user's account by including malicious links to images in an email.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.9a.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.10.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Mikhail Markin, Tomas Kuliavas, and Michael
Jordon.
