Overview
Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA) fails to properly handle the UTF character set label, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute script within the security context of the OWA user.
Description
OWA allows users to access their email accounts on a Microsoft Exchange server from another host through a web browser. When a user opens a script-based email attachment, the web browser may execute the script on the client side. If executed, the script would have all the privileges of the OWA user, including access to and manipulation of messages and folders on the server. |
Impact
A remote attacker with the ability to supply an email message containing specially crafted script may be able to execute the script in the security context of the victim user on the client system. For more information about this type of vulnerability, please see CERT Advisory CA-2000-02. |
