Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in InMail and InShop

InMail and InShop are susceptible to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities occur due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input before including it in dynamic web pages. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by creating a malicious URI link that contains hostile HTML and script code. If a victim user follows this link, the hostile code may be rendered in their web browser, potentially allowing for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to prevent the inclusion of malicious code in dynamic web pages. Additionally, the use of content security policies and output encoding can help protect against XSS attacks.

InMail and InShop are both reported susceptible to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure of the applications to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to including it in dynamic Web pages.

These issues could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
