This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) in Alinto SOGo's handling of ICS calendar invitation files. Specifically, SVG content embedded in the description field of an ICS file includes an onrepeat event handler that is not properly sanitized before rendering in the webmail interface. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of an authenticated user's session when the malicious calendar invite is viewed. The vulnerability affects version 5.12.7 of SOGo. There is no CVSS score or vendor advisory indicating patch availability or mitigation status.

Potential Impact
