Description: Zinho has reported a vulnerability in SqWebMail, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "redirect" parameter is not properly sanitised. This can be exploited to inject malicious characters into HTTP headers and may allow execution of arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into following a specially crafted link in a malicious mail via the web mail interface.
Solution: Do not follow links from untrusted mails.
