AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should: 1) Immediately implement strict email content filtering to block or sanitize incoming emails containing suspicious HTML or JavaScript, especially those with img tags containing scripts. 2) Disable automatic HTML rendering or preview features in Afterlogic Aurora webmail until a vendor patch is available. 3) Educate users about the risks of opening unexpected or suspicious emails, emphasizing caution with HTML content. 4) Monitor webmail logs for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. 6) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers if supported by the webmail platform to restrict script execution. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on webmail systems to detect similar vulnerabilities. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on email content filtering, user awareness, and configuration changes specific to Afterlogic Aurora.

Description

An XSS issue was discovered in Afterlogic Aurora webmail version 9.8.3 and below. An attacker can send a specially crafted HTML e-mail message with JavaScript in an img HTML tag. This could allow a remote attacker to load arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of a webmail user's browser window, and access user data.
