Browser script execution via unencoded subject parameter
Published Nov 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 29, 2025
Reflected XSS in SEPPmail 11.1.10 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a target's browser through a crafted subject URL. The web.app response places the subject query parameter into a hidden predefinedsubject input's value attribute without correct HTML encoding, allowing markup to escape the attribute. Exploitation requires the target to open the attacker-created URL and a bypass of the deployed content security policy; successful execution can expose credentials entered into attacker-controlled content.
