CVE-2016-6847: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2016-6847: An issue was discovered in Open-Xchange OX App Suite before 7.8.2-rev8.

An issue was discovered in Open-Xchange OX App Suite before 7.8.2-rev8. SVG files can be used as mp3 album covers. In case their XML structure contains script code, that code may get executed when calling the related cover URL. Malicious script code can be executed within a user's context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (sending mail, deleting data etc.).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Open-Xchange OX App Suite could execute script hidden inside SVG files used as MP3 album covers. If a user opened the related cover URL, the script could run as that user, potentially hijacking the session or performing webmail actions such as sending mail or deleting data. Exposure is limited to Open-Xchange OX App Suite deployments older than 7.8.2-rev8 where users or attackers can introduce SVG album-cover content that other users may access. Treat this as a high-priority legacy webmail risk if Open-Xchange OX App Suite is still deployed. The business concern is account-level abuse through trusted web sessions, not infrastructure takeover. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Open-Xchange OX App Suite to 7.8.2-rev8 or later.; Review the vendor patch release notes before applying changes.; Check vendor guidance for interim SVG album-cover handling if upgrade is delayed..
