Subject: _MAIN_ Exploit:
X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=07dcee9fe75b37b4d622529550cf6e0820b7c056;p=squirrelmail.git

_MAIN_ Exploit:

The XSS hole I developed the most is in addressbook.php. I was able to
inject and execute javascript code and after opening the addressbook
page there was no indication that I had changed anything (after
entering the HTML comment tags to get rid of some hanging code that my
javascript had made text).

The URL I crafted for the exploit is as follows:

http://<VULNERABLE
SITE>.net/webmail/src/addressbook.php?"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script><!--

If you execute the code without the HTML comment tag on the end it
leaves a nasty hanging bit of HTML code which is a clear indication
that something has gone awry to many users (however some may ignore it
as they don't understand it).
