AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2024-11182 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in MDaemon Email Server versions prior to 24.5.1c. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when handling IMG tags in email messages. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTML email containing JavaScript code within an `<img>` tag. If the recipient opens the email, the malicious JavaScript code could execute within the context of their webmail browser window, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or information disclosure.

Description: An XSS issue was discovered in MDaemon Email Server before version 24.5.1c. An attacker can send an HTML e-mail message with JavaScript in an img tag. This could allow a remote attacker to load arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of a webmail user's browser window.
