CVE-2005-4080: XSS
First published: Thu Dec 08 2005(Updated: )
Horde IMP 4.0.4 and earlier does not sanitize strings containing UTF16 null characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via UTF16 encoded attachments and strings that will be executed when viewed using Internet Explorer, which ignores the characters.
