Description Jan Lieskovsky 2008-12-12 15:57:55 UTC
A remotely exploitable code injection vulnerability has been found in
the RoundCube Webmail browser-based multilingual IMAP client due
to insufficient sanitization of certain HTML tags. A remote attacker could
use this flaw to potentially inject and execute arbitrary code
via HTML POST form request with specially-crafted HTML tags.
