Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Vtiger CRM 8.4.0 within the MailManager module. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-controlled input in the '_folder' parameter. An attacker can bypass security filters by using a specially crafted, double URL-encoded payload. When an authenticated user interacts with a malicious link, the payload is reflected and executed in the context of their session. This allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript, which can be used to hijack sessions or perform actions on behalf of the user. The vulnerability requires network access and minimal user interaction (clicking a link) by an authenticated user.
