Summary
In cyrus-imapd up to version 3.12.2, a vulnerability was found where the LOCALDELETE command bypassed ACL checks. An authenticated non-admin user could invoke the admin-only LOCALDELETE IMAP command and delete mailboxes for which they had no permissions.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves unauthorized deletion of mailboxes by a regular user, potentially leading to data loss and compromise of the mail system's integrity.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade cyrus-imapd to a version later than 3.12.2 where this vulnerability is fixed. Until the update, restrict access to the LOCALDELETE command via firewall rules or server configuration.

Integer overflow in the index_urlfetch function in imap/index.c in Cyrus IMAP 2.3.19, 2.4.18, and 2.5.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to urlfetch range checks and the start_octet variable.
- CVE-2015-8076High
The index_urlfetch function in Cyrus IMAP versions 2.3.x before 2.3.19, 2.4.x before 2.4.18, and 2.5.x before 2.5.4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the urlfetch range, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap read.
- CVE-2017-14230Critical
In the mboxlist_do_find function in Cyrus IMAP before version 3.0.4, an off-by-one error in prefix calculation for the LIST command led to the use of uninitialized memory. This may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a daemon crash.
- CVE-2026-47089Medium
In cyrus-imapd up to version 3.12.2, the LISTRIGHTS command was not restricted to users with admin access. An authenticated user could call LISTRIGHTS against any mailbox they could name and learn what principals had what access to it.
- CVE-2026-47088Low
In cyrus-imapd up to version 3.12.2, a vulnerability was discovered involving heap exposure during parsing of nested MIME comments.

- CVE-2026-47087Low
In cyrus-imapd up to version 3.12.2, an issue was discovered where URLAUTH does not honor revoked authorizer access. A URLAUTH URL minted while the authorizer had access continued to work after that access was revoked.
