functions/mime.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 does not protect the application's content from Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) positioning in HTML e-mail messages, which allows remote attackers to spoof the user interface, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and phishing attacks, via a crafted message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects older SquirrelMail webmail installations before 1.4.18. A malicious HTML email could abuse CSS positioning to make the webmail interface appear misleading, supporting phishing, interface spoofing, or cross-site scripting against users who view the message. Exposure is most likely in legacy SquirrelMail deployments, especially systems still running versions before 1.4.18 or older distribution packages referenced by vendor advisories. Treat this as a legacy webmail risk. It is not presented as actively exploited, but vulnerable systems can expose users to credential phishing and browser-side compromise inside a trusted mail interface. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SquirrelMail to 1.4.18 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant vendor or distribution security updates.; Identify and retire unsupported SquirrelMail deployments if updates are unavailable..
