Description

Paul Kurczaba has reported a vulnerability in Zone Labs IMsecure, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to a canonicalization error in the Active Link filter, which blocks URLs in IM messages. This can be exploited to bypass the filter by using encoded representations for various characters.

The vulnerability has been reported in IMsecure and IMsecure Pro versions prior to 1.5.
