Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is running HastyMail, a PHP-based mail client application.
There is a flaw in the remote version of this software which may allow
a possible hacker to execute arbitrary javascript code on the hosts of users
of this software.
To exploit this flaw, a possible hacker would need to send an email to a victim
using HastyMail containing a malicious HTML attachment. When the victim attempts
to read the attachment, his browser may attempt to render the HTML file.
A possible hacker may use this flaw to steal the cookies of the victim and
therefore get access to his mailbox, or may perform other attacks.
