CVE: CVE-2026-27851
CVSS: 7.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
Details:
lib-var-expand: Safe filter leaks to all following pipelines. When safe filter is used with variable expansion, all
following pipelines on the same string are incorrectly interpreted as safe too, enabling unsafe data to be unescaped.
Risk:
This can enable SQL / LDAP injection attacks when used in authentication. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Avoid using safe filter until on fixed version.
---
Internal reference: DOV-8948
Type: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed

CVE: CVE-2026-40016
CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Details:
Sieve :contains/:matches O(N×M) Substring Match Bypasses sieve_max_cpu_time Limit (130× Overrun). Attacker can upload a
malicious Sieve script over ManageSieve service (or locally) to bypass configured CPU time limits for Sieve up to 130
times of the configured limit.
Risk:
Attacker can use this to degrade server performance and bypass configured CPU time limits for Sieve scripts. No
publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version, or alternatively prevent direct access to Sieve scripts via ManageSieve or local access.

Internal reference: DOV-9030
Type: CWE-99 (Improper Control of Resource Identifiers ('Resource Injection'))
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.0, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.0
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.5, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.4

CVE: CVE-2026-33603
CVSS: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
Details:
login: Base64 input can contain tabs that bypass IPC protection. Attacker can use a specially crafted base64 exchange
between Dovecot and Client to fake SCRAM TLS channel binding. This requires that the attacker is able to position
itself between Dovecot and the client connection.
Risk:
If successful, the attacker can eavesdrop communications between Dovecot and client as MITM proxy. No publicly
available exploits are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version.

Internal reference: DOV-9040
Type: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.0
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.5, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.4

CVE: CVE-2026-40020
CVSS: 3.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
IMAP folders can be shared-spammed to everyone. Attacker can use the IMAP SETACL command to inject the anyone
permission to user's dovecot-acl file even if imap_acl_allow_anyone=no. This causes folders to be spammed to all users.
Risk:
The impact is limited to being able to spam folders to other users, no unexpected access is gained. No publicly
available exploits are known.
Solution:
Install to fixed version.

Internal reference: DOV-9138
Type: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.5, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.4, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.3
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.5, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.4

CVE: CVE-2026-42006
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
imap-login: Excessive memory usage DoS - Try 2. An attacker can cause uncontrolled memory usage with excessive bracing
over IMAP. The fix in CVE-2026-27857 was incomplete, only blocking one way of doing this, so there was still another
way left open. In particular, the fix was for closing braces, but you could still use open braces to bypass the limit.
Risk:
Using excessive bracing, attacker can cause memory usage up to configured memory limit. No publicly available exploits
are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version, or configure vsz_limit for imap process to low value.

Classification: TLP:GREEN
Internal reference: DOV-7830
Type: CWE-1250 (Improper Preservation of Consistency Between Independent Representations of Shared State)
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.0, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.0
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.1
Discovery date: 2025-07-24
Solution date: 2026-03-27
Disclosure date: 2026-03-27

CVE: CVE-2025-30189
CVSS: 7.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
Details:
v2.4 regression: auth cache broken with several passdb / userdb. When cache is enabled, some passdb/userdb drivers
incorrectly cache all users with same cache key, causing wrong cached information to be used for these users.
Risk:
After cached login, all subsequent logins are for same user. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version or disable caching either globally or for the impacted passdb/userdb drivers.
---
Internal reference: DOV-8349
Type: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.0, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.0
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.2, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.3

CVE: CVE-2025-59028
CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
Invalid base64 authentication can cause DoS for other logins. When sending invalid base64 SASL data, login process is
disconnected from the auth server, causing all active authentication sessions to fail.
Risk:
Invalid BASE64 data can be used to DoS a vulnerable server to break concurrent logins. No publicly available exploits
are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version or disable concurrency in login processes (heavy perfomance penalty on large deployments).

CVE: CVE-2025-59032
CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Details:
v2.4/v3.1 regression: Pigeonhole: ManageSieve panic occurs with sieve-connect as a client. ManageSieve AUTHENTICATE
command crashes when using literal as SASL initial response.
Risk:
This can be used to crash ManageSieve service repeatedly, making it unavailable for other users. No publicly available
exploits are known.
Solution:
Control access to ManageSieve port, or disable the service if it's not needed. Alternatively upgrade to a fixed version.

CVE: CVE-2025-59031
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
Details:
decode2text.sh OOXML extraction may follow symlinks and read unintended files during indexing. Dovecot has provided a
script to use for attachment to text conversion. This script unsafely handles zip-style attachments.
Risk:
Attacker can use specially crafted OOXML documents to cause unintended files on the system to be indexed and
subsequently ending up in FTS indexes. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Do not use the provided script, instead, use something else like FTS tika.

Internal reference: DOV-8591
Type: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'))
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Last affected revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.0
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.0, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.0
Discovery date: 2026-01-07
Solution date: 2026-03-27
Disclosure date: 2026-03-27
Researcher credits: strokep@yeswehack
CVE: CVE-2026-0394
CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
Details:
auth: Path traversal in passwd-file passdb using `%d` (domain) escapes base directory and opens `/etc/passwd`Pre-auth
path traversal in passwd-file passdb using `%d` (domain) escapes base directory and opens `/etc/passwd`. When dovecot
has been configured to use per-domain passwd files, and they are placed one path component above /etc, or slash has
been added to allowed characters, path traversal can happen if the domain component is directory partial.
Risk:
This allows inadvertently reading /etc/passwd (or some other path which ends with passwd). If this file contains
passwords, it can be used to authenticate wrongly, or if this is userdb, it can unexpectly make system users appear
valid users. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Upgrade to fixed version, or use different authentication scheme that does not rely on paths. Alternatively you can
also ensure that the per-domain passwd files are in some other location, such as /etc/dovecot/auth/%d.

CVE: CVE-2026-27860
CVSS: 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
Details:
v2.4/v3.1 regression: auth-ldap is not escaping usernames. If auth_username_chars is empty, it is possible to inject
arbitrary LDAP filter to Dovecot's LDAP authentication.
Risk:
This leads to potentially bypassing restrictions and allows probing of LDAP structure. No publicly available exploits
are known.
Solution:
Do not clear out auth_username_chars, or install fixed version.

CVE: CVE-2026-24031
CVSS: 7.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L)
Details:
v2.4/v3.1 regression: SQL injection allows bypassing authentication. Dovecot SQL based authentication can be bypassed
when auth_username_chars is cleared by admin.
Risk:
This vulnerability allows bypassing authentication for any user and user enumeration. No publicly available exploits
are known.
Solution:
Do not clear auth_username_chars. If this is not possible, install latest fixed version.

CVE: CVE-2026-27859
CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
v3.0.2+ regression: Message headers MIME parameter parsing can cause excessive CPU usage. A mail message containing
excessive amount of RFC 2231 MIME parameters causes LMTP to use too much CPU.
Risk:
A suitably formatted mail message causes mail delivery process to consume large amounts of CPU time. No publicly
available exploits are known.
Solution:
Use MTA capabilities to limit RFC 2231 MIME parameters in mail messages, or upgrade to fixed version where the
processing is limited.

CVE: CVE-2026-27857
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
imap-login: Excessive memory usage DoS. Sending "NOOP (((...)))" command with 4000 parenthesis open+close results in
~1MB extra memory usage. Longer commands will result in client disconnection. This 1 MB can be left allocated for
longer time periods by not sending the command ending LF. So attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and
create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the
process and its other proxied connections.
Risk:
Attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which
would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the process and its other proxied connections. No publicly
available exploits are known.
Solution:
Install fixed version, there is no other remediation.

Classification: TLP:GREEN
Internal reference: DOV-8476
Type: CWE-403 (Exposure of File Descriptor to Unintended Control Sphere ('File Descriptor Leak'))
Component: core
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by vendor
Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core
=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5
First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE
core 2.4.5
Discovery date: 2025-11-25
Solution date: 2026-08-26
Disclosure date: 2026-08-26
CVE: CVE-2026-33263
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
submission-login: Panic when mail_max_userip_connections is reached: Panic: epoll_ctl(del, 8) failed: Bad file
descriptor. When mail_max_userip_connections is set (defaul
t 10) and reached, submission-login can crash with epoll() panic caused by file descriptor handling issues.
Risk:
If running in high-security mode (default for community releases), only the new submission connection gets terminated.
If running in high-performance mode (default for Pr
o releases), all connections handled by the submission-login process will be terminated. The crashes can cause failure
for user to send a message, or it can cause duplica
te messages to be sent. If TLS is not used (in the backend server processing the submission), duplicate deliveries
cannot happen, because the crash can only happen at AUT
H stage. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Limit the number of connections handled by single submission-login process. This has a performance impact though.
Update to non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-27852
CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Details:
DoS by sending mail with bad header. An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message whose headers contain
a very large number of email addresses or MIME par
ameters, which causes excessive memory usage when the message is later parsed.
Risk:
The message is still delivered, but reading it over IMAP can exhaust the memory limit of the process and terminate it,
causing denial of service for the affected user. No
publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Update to non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-33606
CVSS: 4.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
Details:
dsync: Mail content can cause dsync protocol injection. Mail content stored by a user can be crafted so that it is
interpreted as dsync protocol commands when an administ
rator later runs dsync with the stream protocol, for example during a migration.
Risk:
Injected commands can modify mailbox state on the destination during migration or replication, including internal
mailbox attributes that a user should not be able to set
directly. It can also cause dsync errors. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Avoid running dsync with the stream protocol on mailboxes with untrusted content. Update to non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-33604
CVSS: 5.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
Details:
SMTP Smuggling via Missing Dot-Stuffing After Bare Carriage Return. An attacker that can get Dovecot to relay a
message, for example through Sieve redirect or submission
relay, can use a crafted line ending in the message body to bypass the outbound protection that prevents message
content from being interpreted as SMTP commands.
Risk:
A downstream mail server that hasn't yet fixed the SMTP smuggling vulnerability can be tricked into treating part of
the message body as new SMTP commands, allowing injec
tion of spoofed email. This is the same vulnerability class as CVE-2023-51764 and CVE-2023-51766. No publicly available
exploits are known.
Solution:
Where you control the receiving mail servers, ensure they reject bare carriage returns in message data. Update to
non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-40014
CVSS: 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Details:
IMAP THREAD REFERENCES O(N²) CPU DoS via Crafted References Header (index-thread-links.c). An attacker that can send
mail to a user can craft a message header that makes
the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message.
Risk:
When a mail client issues a THREAD command on the affected mailbox, this can cause degradation or denial of service for
IMAP. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage, kill the offending process and remove the offending message from the affected
mailbox. Update to non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-40013
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
Details:
pigeonhole: Stack Buffer Underflow in Pigeonhole ManageSieve CHECKSCRIPT/PUTSCRIPT. An attacker that has valid
credentials can submit a Sieve script containing an extreme
numeric literal, which causes an out-of-bounds write when the ManageSieve service compiles the script.
Risk:
This causes memory corruption and an observed crash of the ManageSieve process, resulting in denial of service for
script management. This might be able to be used for re
mote code execution. No publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Disable the ManageSieve service if users do not need remote Sieve script management. Update to non-vulnerable version.

CVE: CVE-2026-33605
CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Details:
managesieve-login: Pre-auth crash. An unauthenticated attacker can crash the ManageSieve login process by sending a
small malformed command before authenticating.
Risk:
If running in high-security mode (default for community releases), only the attacker's own connection is terminated. If
running in high-performance mode (default for Pro
releases), all connections handled by the same managesieve-login process are terminated. Repeating the attack can cause
denial of service for Sieve script management. No
publicly available exploits are known.
Solution:
Restrict network access to the ManageSieve service to trusted clients. Update to non-vulnerable version.

Summary
An attacker can cause uncontrolled memory usage with excessive bracing over IMAP. The fix in CVE-2026-27857 was incomplete, only blocking one way of doing this, so there was still another way left open. In particular, the fix was for closing braces, but you could still use open braces to bypass the limit. Using excessive bracing, attacker can cause memory usage up to configured memory limit. Install fixed version, or configure vsz_limit for imap process to low value. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
When safe filter is used with variable expansion, all following pipelines on the same string are incorrectly interpreted as safe too, enabling unsafe data to be unescaped. This can enable SQL / LDAP injection attacks when used in authentication. Avoid using safe filter until on fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.

CVE-2026-27857 (GCVE-0-2026-27857)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-03-27 08:10 – Updated: 2026-07-15 01:12

Summary
Sending "NOOP (((...)))" command with 4000 parenthesis open+close results in ~1MB extra memory usage. Longer commands will result in client disconnection. This 1 MB can be left allocated for longer time periods by not sending the command ending LF. So attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the process and its other proxied connections. Attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the process and its other proxied connections. Install fixed version, there is no other remediation. No publicly available exploits are known.

CVE-2026-27855 (GCVE-0-2026-27855)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-03-27 08:10 – Updated: 2026-03-27 19:39

Summary
Dovecot OTP authentication is vulnerable to replay attack under specific conditions. If auth cache is enabled, and username is altered in passdb, then OTP credentials can be cached so that same OTP reply is valid. An attacker able to observe an OTP exchange is able to log in as the user. If authentication happens over unsecure connection, switch to SCRAM protocol. Alternatively ensure the communcations are secured, and if possible switch to OAUTH2 or SCRAM. No publicly available exploits are known.

CVE-2026-0394 (GCVE-0-2026-0394)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-03-27 08:10 – Updated: 2026-03-27 19:41

Summary
When dovecot has been configured to use per-domain passwd files, and they are placed one path component above /etc, or slash has been added to allowed characters, path traversal can happen if the domain component is directory partial. This allows inadvertently reading /etc/passwd (or some other path which ends with passwd). If this file contains passwords, it can be used to authenticate wrongly, or if this is userdb, it can unexpectly make system users appear valid users. Upgrade to fixed version, or use different authentication scheme that does not rely on paths. Alternatively you can also ensure that the per-domain passwd files are in some other location, such as /etc/dovecot/auth/%d. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
Dovecot has provided a script to use for attachment to text conversion. This script unsafely handles zip-style attachments. Attacker can use specially crafted OOXML documents to cause unintended files on the system to be indexed and subsequently ending up in FTS indexes. Do not use the provided script, instead, use something else like FTS tika. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
When sending invalid base64 SASL data, login process is disconnected from the auth server, causing all active authentication sessions to fail. Invalid BASE64 data can be used to DoS a vulnerable server to break concurrent logins. Install fixed version or disable concurrency in login processes (heavy perfomance penalty on large deployments). No publicly available exploits are known.

VEX
Summary
An attacker can cause uncontrolled memory usage with excessive bracing over IMAP. The fix in CVE-2026-27857 was incomplete, only blocking one way of doing this, so there was still another way left open. In particular, the fix was for closing braces, but you could still use open braces to bypass the limit. Using excessive bracing, attacker can cause memory usage up to configured memory limit. Install fixed version, or configure vsz_limit for imap process to low value. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
Attacker can use a specially crafted base64 exchange between Dovecot and Client to fake SCRAM TLS channel binding. This requires that the attacker is able to position itself between Dovecot and the client connection. If successful, the attacker can eavesdrop communications between Dovecot and client as MITM proxy. Install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
When safe filter is used with variable expansion, all following pipelines on the same string are incorrectly interpreted as safe too, enabling unsafe data to be unescaped. This can enable SQL / LDAP injection attacks when used in authentication. Avoid using safe filter until on fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
Sending "NOOP (((...)))" command with 4000 parenthesis open+close results in ~1MB extra memory usage. Longer commands will result in client disconnection. This 1 MB can be left allocated for longer time periods by not sending the command ending LF. So attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the process and its other proxied connections. Attacker could connect possibly from even a single IP and create 1000 connections to allocate 1 GB of memory, which would likely result in reaching VSZ limit and killing the process and its other proxied connections. Install fixed version, there is no other remediation. No publicly available exploits are known.

Summary
Dovecot OTP authentication is vulnerable to replay attack under specific conditions. If auth cache is enabled, and username is altered in passdb, then OTP credentials can be cached so that same OTP reply is valid. An attacker able to observe an OTP exchange is able to log in as the user. If authentication happens over unsecure connection, switch to SCRAM protocol. Alternatively ensure the communcations are secured, and if possible switch to OAUTH2 or SCRAM. No publicly available exploits are known.
