Description Tomas Hoger 2009-08-13 13:22:18 UTC
It was reported that SquirrelMail did not implement protections against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.  This can be exploited to e.g. change user preferences, delete emails, and potentially send emails when a logged-in user visits a malicious web page.
