Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-05-15 16:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:34
Severity
6.8 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
Stalwart Mail Server is an open-source mail server. Prior to version 0.8.0, when using `RUN_AS_USER`, the specified user (and therefore, web interface admins) can read arbitrary files as root. This issue affects admins who have set up to run stalwart with `RUN_AS_USER` who handed out admin credentials to the mail server but expect these to only grant access according to the `RUN_AS_USER` and are attacked where the attackers managed to achieve Arbitrary Code Execution using another vulnerability. Version 0.8.0 contains a patch for the issue.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 0.8.0, al usar `RUN_AS_USER`, el usuario especificado (y, por lo tanto, los administradores de la interfaz web) pueden leer archivos arbitrarios como root. Este problema afecta a los administradores que han configurado la ejecuci\u00f3n de stalwart con `RUN_AS_USER` y que han entregado credenciales de administrador al servidor de correo, pero esperan que estas solo otorguen acceso de acuerdo con `RUN_AS_USER` y son atacados cuando los atacantes lograron ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario utilizando otra vulnerabilidad. La versi\u00f3n 0.8.0 contiene un parche para el problema."
