Squirrelmail · Squirrelmail · CVE-2006-6142
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SquirrelMail versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.9
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can be achieved via several parameters, including the `mailto` parameter in "webmail.php", the `session` and `delete draft` parameters in "compose.php", and other unspecified vectors related to a shortcoming in the magicHTML filter.
**Recommendations**
For SquirrelMail versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.9, consider disabling the magicHTML filter as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the "webmail.php" and "compose.php" scripts to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `mailto`, `session`, and `delete draft` parameters in the affected scripts until the issue is resolved.
