Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the WebAccess component in Novell GroupWise 7.x before 7.03 HP3 and 8.x before 8.0 HP2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the User.lang parameter to the login page (aka gw/webacc), (2) style expressions in a message that contains an HTML file, or (3) vectors associated with incorrect protection mechanisms against scripting, as demonstrated using whitespace between JavaScript event names and values.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Novell GroupWise WebAccess in older 7.x and 8.x releases. An attacker could inject script or HTML into WebAccess pages or HTML email handling, potentially causing malicious content to run in a user’s browser while they use webmail. Exposure is most likely where legacy Novell GroupWise WebAccess is still internet-accessible or reachable by untrusted users, especially versions before 7.03 HP3 or 8.0 HP2. Prioritize remediation for any exposed legacy WebAccess server. The issue is old but meaningful because webmail handles credentials, sessions, and sensitive messages; unsupported systems increase business risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GroupWise WebAccess to 7.03 HP3, 8.0 HP2, or later supported versions.; Review Novell support advisories for the exact hot patch applicable to your deployment.; Limit WebAccess exposure to trusted networks or VPN where business operations allow..
