The SquirrelMail developers have announced the release of version 1.4.18 of their open source standards based webmail package. The update fixes multiple security problems, including several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and a session fixation issue, which could be used to steal user log-in credentials.

A "dangerous" server-side code execution vulnerability has also been patched, however, the developers do not provide any other details. The release also includes three new languages and enhancements to the filter plug-ins and address book system.

Version 1.4.18 is available to download and all users are advised to update. SquirrelMail is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
