CVE-2026-107568 Details
Description
Missing authorization in the Sieve notify action (6.2.22 through 6.3.6) and in the mail-rule Reply action (6.0.0 through 6.3.6) of Progressive Robot hMailServer allows an authenticated user to send mail through the server as any address. A Sieve notify sends a notification message, and its :from tag names the sender; the server set the notification's From header to that :from as the script wrote it, without checking that the address belongs to the account - the check that the Sieve vacation action applies to its own :from, and that the server applies to the sender of mail queued over COM or sent from the webmail. An account that can store a Sieve script (over ManageSieve, the REST API's self-service filter, or the administration interface) could therefore have the server send a notification from any address, on this server or anywhere; and where the claimed address is at a domain the server hosts with DKIM signing enabled, the server signed the notification with that domain's DKIM key, because it signs by the From header's domain, producing forged mail aligned to pass the domain's DMARC policy. The notify action and this behaviour were introduced in 6.2.22. In the mail-rule engine, a rule's Reply was likewise sent from whatever address the action named, 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 a domain's or an account's rule reply from 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, specifically within the Sieve notify action and the mail-rule Reply action. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to send emails through the server using any address as the sender. The issue arises because the server does not verify that the address specified in the Sieve notify action's :from tag belongs to the user's account. As a result, an account can send notifications from any address, potentially forging emails to pass through DMARC checks if the domain is DKIM-signed by the server. Similarly, the mail-rule Reply action in versions 6.0.0 through 6.3.6 also lacks this verification, allowing emails to be sent from any address specified in the reply rule.
Users are advised to upgrade to hMailServer version 6.3.7, which addresses this vulnerability by implementing the necessary authorization checks for both the Sieve notify action and the mail-rule Reply action. Instructions for upgrading are available in the release notes for version 6.3.7.
