Go to dashboardWhen hMailServer's virus scanner is set to strip attachments and deliver the text, messages whose only part is a non-text file, archive, or whole message are delivered as they arrived, infected content included. Any remote sender can trigger it, and the recipient's mail client may then open the infected content.

Mail servers running hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.6 with virus scanning enabled and the action set to remove attachments and deliver the text. Installations that use the default delete action are not affected by this flaw as described.
No product ranges from the sources yet.
6.0.0 and 6.3.6.6.3.6; the sources do not name the fixed version, so check the vendor release notes.Each row is the first time that source carried this signal. The analyst’s rows are its own findings.
Not failing securely in the anti-virus attachment-stripping action of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.6 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to have a message that the server's virus scanner found infected delivered to the recipient's mailbox unchanged. With virus scanning enabled and its action set to remove attachments and deliver the text (the default action deletes the message), the server keeps one text part of an infected message and replaces every attachment with a note. A message whose single part is not text - a program or an archive sent as the whole message, a message carried whole, a file declared an attachment, or an S/MIME message signed as one part, whose content the recipient's mail client opens - had no part the action could pick out, and was delivered as it arrived, with the content the scanner had found and nothing but a line in the application log to show it. Any sender can write such a message.
