Summary

Improper certificate validation in the webmail of hMailServer 6.3.2 through 6.3.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to have S/MIME-encrypted mail that the account later sends to another correspondent also encrypted to the attacker's key. The webmail kept the signer's certificate for encrypting replies whether or not the server found its chain trusted, under the first e-mail address the certificate listed rather than the message's From address, and beside any certificate already held for that address.

Risk Assessment

A holder of the kept certificate's key who obtains a copy of such a message can read it, leading to disclosure of confidential correspondence. The risk affects organizations using the hMailServer webmail for S/MIME-encrypted communication.

Recommendation

Update hMailServer to a version later than 6.3.5 that fixes certificate validation in the webmail. Until then, consider disabling the S/MIME reply encryption feature in the webmail or restricting its use.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper certificate validation in the webmail of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.3.2 through 6.3.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to have S/MIME-encrypted mail that the account later sends to another correspondent also encrypted to the attacker's key. When its recipient opened a signed message, the webmail kept the signer's certificate for encrypting replies whether or not the server found its chain trusted, under the first e-mail address the certificate listed rather than the message's From address, and beside any certificate already held for that address. Encrypted mail later sent from the webmail to that address was encrypted to every certificate held for it, so a holder of the kept certificate's key who obtains a copy of such a message can read it.
