Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12406)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected software does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. A remote authenticated attacker can craft a message containing a very large number of message attachments and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
4) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4421)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-4663)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. The vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4329)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4303)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
9) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4304)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
