Hello Alec,

> CVE-2006-3174: "Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in search.php
> in SquirrelMail 1.5.1 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled,
> allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML via the mailbox
> parameter."

Thank you for your report. Interestingly enough, there has been no
contact with the SquirrelMail team about this CVE assignment or this
vulnerability and I'm therefore also a bit puzzled as to where it
originates.

I'll check it out and see whether something needs to be fixed.

A setup with register_globals set to On when it's not needed is
knowingly insecure.
