Introduction
============
"MailBee WebMail Pro is a web based mail client built as a set of ASP
scripts." [from http://www.afterlogic.com]
More Details
============
Cross Site Scripting:
Input passed directly to the "username" parameter in "check_login.asp" is
not 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.
Workaround
=============
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
You should work with "htmlspecialchars()" or "htmlentities()" php-function
to ensure that html tags
are not going to be executed.
