CVE-2018-13796 [MEDIUM] CVE-2018-13796 mailman: Mishandled URLs in Utils.py:GetPathPieces() allows attackers to display arbitrary text on trusted sites
CVE-2018-13796 mailman: Mishandled URLs in Utils.py:GetPathPieces() allows attackers to display arbitrary text on trusted sites
Mailman before version 2.1.28 has a vulnerability in the Utils.py:GetPathPieces() function that allows an attacker to submit URLs with long listnames resulting in arbitrary text to be echoed in "No such list" error responses. This can be used to make a potential victim think the phishing text comes from a trusted site.
