SmarterTools SmarterMail is vulnerable to an authentication bypass in the password reset API. The force-reset-password endpoint allows anonymous requests to reset system administrator accounts without proper verification, potentially leading to full administrative compromise. Users are advised to apply vendor mitigations or discontinue use of the product.
Vendor: SmarterTools Product: SmarterMail Description: SmarterTools SmarterMail contains an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability in the password reset API. The force-reset-password endpoint permits anonymous requests and fails to verify the existing password or a reset token when resetting system administrator accounts. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to supply a target administrator username and a new password to reset the account, resulting in full administrative compromise of the SmarterMail instance. Required Action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
