An HTML injection vulnerability is reported in Sympa. The problem occurs due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input data.

Unsuspecting users viewing the affected page will have attacker-supplied malicious code interpreted by their browser in the security context of the website hosting Sympa.

Attackers may potentially exploit this issue to manipulate web content or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to take arbitrary actions as the victim user.

Versions 4.1, and all 4.1.x releases are reported vulnerable to this issue.
