CVE-2022-29360 The Email Viewer in RainLoop through 1.6.0 allows XSS via a crafted email message.

An attacker can access the system via an email message that sends a crafted “From” field on a system that has a vulnerable version of RainLoop installed. XSS occurs in the “notifications” section of the “Settings” page. The severity of XSS depends on the value of the “From” email field when the user is notified of a campaign by RainLoop. If an attacker can access the “Settings” page and send a crafted “From” email address, then the user’s session is vulnerable to an XSS attack. An attacker can send a crafted email message from a reliable external email address to trigger an XSS. An attacker can also craft an email message from an unreliable external email address and send it to trigger XSS.
