STAR Labs’ advisory on CVE-2026-41873 in Apache Pony Mail by Li Jiantao and Tevel Sho (disclosed 28 April 2026). Two independent bugs reach the same outcome — full admin takeover — without any authentication. In the modern Foal (Python) build, an attacker-supplied "oauth_token" URL drives a blind SSRF against the local Elasticsearch SQL endpoint, leaking the admin session cookie character-by-character (CVSS 9.1). In the legacy Lua build (now retired, no patch), a single unescaped query parameter in "email.lua" lets the attacker inject CRLF bytes into the Elasticsearch HTTP request and smuggle a second request that creates an admin account outright.
A widely used Secure E-Mail Gateway "SeppMail" revealed critical vulnerabilities with little effort and without chaining of multiple vulnerabilities. RCE to compromise the device, LFI to read mails and more. (CVE-2026-2743, CVE-2026-7864, CVE-2026-44127, CVE-2026-44128)
