POP3: Script Tag Alert In Email Message

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Multiple POP3 Email Clients. A successful attack can allow the attacker to read or delete email, access the user's contact list, and other operations on the user's mail account. The attacker could also fully control the compromised mail account.

Extended Description

The web interface for Lotus Notes mail automatically processes HTML in an attachment without prompting the user to save or open it, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct web-based attacks and steal cookies.
