Introduction
============
"MailBee WebMail Pro is a web based mail client built as a set of ASP scripts."
[from http://www.afterlogic.com]
More Details
============
Cross Site Scripting:
Input passed directly to the "username" parameter in "check_login.asp" is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
Example:
/check_login.asp?email=>"><script>alert(15031988)</script>
Workaround
=============
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
You should work with "htmlspecialchars()" or "htmlentities()" php-function to
ensure that html tags
are not going to be executed.
Example:
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$test = htmlentities($_GET('test'));
?>
