A directory traversal flaw in SquirrelMail 1.4.22 allows an authenticated attacker to exfiltrate (or potentially delete) files from the hosting server, related to ../ in the attlocalname field in Deliver.class.php.
SquirrelMail 1.4.22 (and other versions before 201704270200-SVN) allows post-authentication remote code execution via a sendmail.cf file that is mishandled in a popen call. It's possible to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary shell commands on the remote server. The problem is in the DeliverSendMail.class.php with the initStream function that uses escapeshellcmd() to sanitize the sendmail command before executing it. The use of escapeshellcmd() is not correct in this case since it doesn't escape whitespaces, allowing the injection of arbitrary command parameters. The problem is in -f$envelopefrom within the sendmail command line. Hence, if the target server uses sendmail and SquirrelMail is configured to use it as a command-line program, it's possible to trick sendmail into using an attacker-provided configuration file that triggers the execution of an arbitrary command. For exploitation, the attacker must upload a sendmail.cf file as an email attachment, and inject the sendmail.cf filename with the -C option within the "Options > Personal Informations > Email Address" setting.
A certain Red Hat patch for SquirrelMail 1.4.8 sets the same SQMSESSID cookie value for all sessions, which allows remote authenticated users to access other users' folder lists and configuration data in opportunistic circumstances by using the standard webmail.php interface. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3663.

mime.php in SquirrelMail through 1.4.23-svn-20250401 and 1.5.x through 1.5.2-svn-20250401 allows XSS via e-mail headers, because JavaScript payloads are mishandled after $encoded has been set to true.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Squirrelmail 1.2.10 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or script via (1) the $mailer variable in readbody.php, (2) the $senderNamespart variable in mailboxdisplay.php, and possibly other vectors including (3) the $eventtitle variable or (4) the $eventtext variable.

The G/PGP (GPG) Plugin 2.1 and earlier for Squirrelmail allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in (1) the fpr parameter to the deleteKey function in gpgkeyring.php, as called by (a) importkeyfile.php, (b) importkeytext.php, and (c) keyringmain.php; and (2) the keyserver parameter to the gpgrecvkey function in gpgkeyfunctions.php, as called by gpgoptions.php.
