Vulnerability Scan Summary
Horde-IMP: Input validation vulnerability for Internet Explorer users
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-07
(Horde-IMP: Input validation vulnerability for Internet Explorer users)
Horde-IMP fails to properly sanitize email messages that contain malicious
HTML or script code so that it is not safe for users of Internet Explorer
when using the inline MIME viewer for HTML messages.

execute arbitrary scripts running in the context of the victim's browser.
This could lead to a compromise of the user's webmail account, cookie
theft, etc.
Workaround
Do not use Internet Explorer to access Horde-IMP.
