Description

 IceWarp Web Mail contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to create arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the accountsettings_add.html script not properly sanitizing user input and allowing custom content to be specified. The server will create a file called "accounts.dat" with the user supplied input which may lead to further privilege escalation.
