Id Description
19262 SqWebMail in MSIE Conditional Comments XSS

SqWebMail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate HTML comments in e-mails. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted e-mail that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
