Go to dashboardProgressive Robot hMailServer 6.3.4 through 6.3.6 has an authorization flaw in its REST administration API: a credential with the manage_roles permission in some domains can delete a narrowing role from an account in those domains, restoring server administrator authority. The attacker can then set that account's password and sign in as the server administrator.

Only installations running hMailServer 6.3.4 through 6.3.6 that use the REST administration API with domain-scoped credentials or accounts that hold manage_roles. Servers without the REST API in use, or with no domain-scoped admin credentials, have a smaller exposure.

unknown for the exact command; confirm from the install or the admin tool).6.3.6 (fixed version: unknown from sources; check the vendor advisory).Each row is the first time that source carried this signal. The analyst’s rows are its own findings.
Incorrect authorization in the REST administration API of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.3.4 through 6.3.6 allows a remote authenticated user whose credential holds the manage_roles permission in named domains - a full-scope API key issued for those domains, or an account assigned the serveradmin role with a list of domains - to obtain the server administrator's authority. An account's admin level gives it authority, and a role assigned to it replaces that authority, which is how an administrator narrows an account whose admin level is the server administrator's. The route that takes a role away (DELETE /api/v1/role-assignments/{address}) checked only that the credential takes in what the account held at the time, not what it would hold afterwards, so such a credential could take a narrowing role away from an account in its domains whose admin level is the server administrator's, returning it to the server administrator's authority, and, having set that account's password while it held the narrower role, sign in as the server administrator.
