Summary

Ipswitch IMail 7.04 and earlier stores a user's session ID in a URL, which could allow remote attackers to hijack sessions by obtaining the URL, e.g. via an HTML email that causes the Referrer to be sent to a URL under the attacker's control.

Risk Assessment

Session hijacking could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and data, posing a significant security threat to the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Ipswitch IMail that does not store session IDs in URLs, and to implement additional security measures such as using HTTPS.
