Summary

PostfixAdmin through 4.0.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the TOTP exception feature, where the description field is not escaped. An authenticated mailbox user can inject script by creating a TOTP exception, and the script runs in the session of a global administrator who views totp-exceptions.php. The injected script can then issue authenticated admin requests using the page's CSRF token (CWE-79).
