  * Project: Mail Logger [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2011-August-03
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote

-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

The Mail Logger module logs all outgoing e-mails and provides users with the
"access mail logger" permission to view logged e-mails.
The module does not sanitize the log output of addressee information,
subject, and body, leading to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS [3]) vulnerability
that may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.
