CVE-2021-26929
Last modified
CVE-2021-26929 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. An XSS issue was discovered in Horde Groupware Webmail Edition through 5.2.22 (where the Horde_Text_Filter library before 2.3.7 is used). The attacker can send a plain text e-mail message, with JavaScript encoded as a link or email that is mishandled by preProcess in Text2html.php, because bespoke use of \x00\x00\x00 and \x01\x01\x01 interferes with XSS defenses.. EPSS estimates a 4.94% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
