VULHUB ™

A simple flaw in the web mail service offered by Critical Path (www.cp.net) allows an attacker to gain full access of any webmail account. The attack falls under the umbrella of cross-site scripting, which was addressed in detail by CERT in their advisory CA-2000-02, entitled "Malicious HTML Tags Embedded in Client Web Requests." The bug is aggravated by an defective session token scheme.
