Vulnerability Scan Summary
Checks for sort parameter cross-site scripting vulnerability in NeoMail
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a Perl application that is affected by
a cross-site scripting issue.
Description :

inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser, to be
executed within the security context of the affected application,
resulting in the theft of session cookies and a compromise of a user's
account.
