Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the XSS filter (framework/Text_Filter/Filter/xss.php) in Horde Application Framework 3.2.2 and 3.3, when Internet Explorer is being used, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown vectors related to style attributes.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an older cross-site scripting issue in Horde Application Framework 3.2.2 and 3.3. If a user accesses a vulnerable Horde page with Internet Explorer, an attacker may be able to inject script or HTML through style-attribute handling. The sources do not provide CVSS, affected applications beyond Horde, or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy Horde Application Framework 3.2.2 or 3.3 deployments that are still reachable by users, especially where Internet Explorer-era client behavior remains relevant. Modern environments are less likely exposed unless old Horde instances persist internally or publicly. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless an affected Horde system is internet-facing or business-critical. Prioritize verification because the product versions are very old, the impact is user-session script execution, and the sources do not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Horde Application Framework versions across public and internal systems.; Review Horde 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 announcements for the vendor-supported upgrade path.; Upgrade affected Horde 3.2.2 or 3.3 installations per vendor guidance..
