KEVMEDIUM 5.3EPSS 33.3%

Does this matter?

Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 9 June 2025). Treat as an emergency change: patch or isolate now, then hunt for prior compromise.

Description

An XSS issue was discovered in MDaemon Email Server before version 24.5.1c. An attacker can send an HTML e-mail message with JavaScript in an img tag. This could allow a remote attacker to load arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of a webmail user's browser window.
