CVE-2026-107566 Details
Description
Missing authorization in the Sieve editheader action (6.2.22 through 6.3.6) and in the mail-rule Set header value action (6.0.0 through 6.3.6) of Progressive Robot hMailServer allows an authenticated user to make the server send mail as any address, DKIM-signed where the address is at a domain the server signs for. A Sieve script's editheader (addheader/deleteheader) could add or delete any header field except Received and Return-Path, and the server applies a script's header edits before it queues a redirect, so the redirected copy is sent as the script left it. The server signs a message's first delivery pass as the domain named in its From header wherever it signs DKIM for that domain and the message carries no signature of it. A script could therefore delete and re-add From - another account's address, or anyone's at a hosted domain - and redirect, so the server sent the message in that name and, for a hosted domain, signed it with that domain's DKIM key, a forgery aligned to pass the domain's DMARC; or, where another sender's domain is one the server signs for, delete the DKIM-Signature that sender's message arrived with, alter a field, and redirect, so the server re-signed the altered message as that sender's domain. editheader placed no restriction on From, Sender, Resent-From, Resent-Sender or DKIM-Signature. The editheader action was introduced in 6.2.22. In the mail-rule engine, a domain's or an account's rule's Set header value action could likewise set From, Sender, Resent-From, Resent-Sender or DKIM-Signature ahead of a forward or a copy, whoever the rule belonged to, so that an account acting on its own rules over COM, a domain administrator, or an API key confined to a domain (over the REST API from 6.3.4) could have the server forward or copy a message in the name of any address, signed, where that address is at a domain the server hosts with DKIM signing enabled, with that domain's key.
An authorization vulnerability has been identified in Progressive Robot hMailServer versions 6.2.22 through 6.3.6. The issue allows an authenticated user to manipulate email headers and send messages as any address, with DKIM signatures aligned to pass DMARC checks. This vulnerability exists in the Sieve 'editheader' action and the mail-rule 'Set header value' action. The Sieve script can add or delete various header fields, including 'From' and 'DKIM-Signature', and the server applies these changes before queuing a redirect. Similarly, the mail-rule engine allows users to set header values before forwarding or copying messages, effectively spoofing the sender's identity.
Users are advised to upgrade to hMailServer version 6.3.7, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for upgrading are available in the release notes for version 6.3.7.
