Description

Hastymail contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. The flaw exists because email attachments are not properly defined in the Content-Disposition HTTP header, which will allow Internet Explorer to open it inline. This could allow a user to inject Javascript or activeX code in the attachement that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
