AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the Axigen Mail Server WebMail component before versions 10.6.39 and 10.7.1. An unauthenticated attacker can send an email whose From display name contains malicious HTML and JavaScript; when a recipient opens the conversation view, the script runs in the browser with the recipient's credentials, allowing the attacker to capture mailbox contents or redirect the user to a malicious site, thereby compromising confidentiality and session integrity.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Axigen Mail Server releases prior to 10.6.39 and 10.7.1, from Axigen Inc. Versions earlier than 10.6.39 for the 10.6 series and earlier than 10.7.1 for the 10.7 series are vulnerable; administrators should verify that their installations run a patched version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available while it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw remotely by sending a crafted message; no authentication or privileged access is required. Given the ease of exploitation and potential for data theft, the risk for exposed systems is non‑negligible and requires timely remediation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Axigen Mail Server to version 10.6.39 or 10.7.1 or later.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict the WebMail interface to trusted IP addresses and enable strict input sanitization on sender display names, for example by configuring the mail server to strip or encode special characters in the From header before storing.
  • Monitor mail logs for unusually malformed From display names and block offending senders to reduce the chance of script injection.
