CVE-2026-85749
Published:October 28, 2026
Updated:November 04, 2026
MailWatch for MailScanner is a web-based front-end to MailScanner. Prior to 1.2.27, any authenticated MailWatch user, including the U/user, D/domain-admin, and H/host roles, can release to inbox or permanently delete the quarantined mail of any other user or domain by supplying an arbitrary message "id" to "mailscanner/quarantine_action.php". The action path calls "quarantine_list_items()" in "mailscanner/functions.php", which selects from "maillog" by the supplied identifier without the per-role "global_filter" applied by listing and read views. The action requires a valid session and CSRF token, but the caller can submit a token from the caller's own session; ownership of the requested message is never checked. Message identifiers are enumerable, allowing a low-privilege user to invoke "quarantine_release()" or "quarantine_delete()" for other users' or domains' quarantined messages, force-delivering mail held by the quarantine or permanently deleting it. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.27.
