Summary

CVE-2000-0087 is a vulnerability affecting the Netscape Mail Notification (nsnotify) utility in Netscape Communicator. Contrary to user settings, this utility employs unsecured IMAP communication, thereby exposing username and password traffic in clear text, making it susceptible to interception by remote attackers. This issue potentially endangers users' account credentials. Despite user preferences for SSL connections, IMAP communications remain unencrypted, increasing the risk of data compromise.
