Secunia reports:

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Horde, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing and cross-site scripting attacks.

  1. Input passed to the "url" parameter in index.php isn't properly verified before it is being used to include an arbitrary web site in a frameset. This can e.g. be exploited to trick a user into believing certain malicious content is served from a trusted web site.
  2. Some unspecified input passed in index.php isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
