Hmm - I thought that sqwebmail was written to avoid this kind of
vulnerability...

This is nonsense.

A) By default, only HTTP access from the login IP address is allowed.
This can only work if:  1) The login userid explicitly unchecked the option
at login time and 2) You explicitly click on a link in an E-mail.

B) All links are washed of their referral tags.  There's no mention in this
âreportâ (and I use the term loosely) if he found a way around it.

Nothing to see here, move alongâ

Offer this 3L1+3 D00D an opportunity to send you an E-mail with a link,
click on it, and let him try to do something with your mail session.

Package        : Sqwebmail
Vendor         : Inter7
Vulnerability  : access to private account without login, session
hijacking
Problem-Type   : remote
risk           : low
Version        : All the version seems to be affected.

***********************
About Sqwebmail
***********************
SqWebMail is a web CGI client for sending and receiving E-mail using
Maildir mailboxes. SqWebMail DOES NOT support
traditional Mailbox files, only Maildirs. This is the same
webmail server
that's included in the Courier mail server,
but packaged independently. If you already have Courier
installed, you do
not need to download this version.

***********************
Proof of concepts
************************
An attacker could send an email to a victim who used
SQWEBMAIL, to get the
victim to visit a website, which then logs all
available information about the victim's system.

Example:
-------------------
MY STAT FOR MY WEBSITE - REFERENT DOMAIN
http://mailserver.society.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail/login/mail%40s
erver.org.authvchkpw/3247A0578D6F3E74F37A20FF37B52A1C/1069089171?folder=Tras
h&form=folders


In this example, the victim has visualized our website reading the mail that we have sent to him. Visiting the link is been marked from our counter. Now we will be able to access to the victim's mail page admin and will be able to read and to send, calmly, its email without make login. The session comes sluice after approximately 20/30 minutes and the attacker has the time to make its comfortable ones.

*************************
What could make a attacker?
*************************
Read, write and fake your e-mail. Could send , from you email address, a
mail to your ISP and ask it User e PASS of your
website. The consequences would be catastrophic.

*************************
What I can do ?
*************************
Actually seems that there isn't a patch for this problem.

*************************
Suggestion to SQWEBMAIL
*************************
It would have to reduce the time for the closing of the sessions.

Greet,
Vincenzo Ciaglia
