Recent Apache James Security Vulnerabilities
Usage of temporary files with insecure permissions by the Apache James server
CVE-2022-45935
5.5 - Medium
- January 06, 2023
Usage of temporary files with insecure permissions by the Apache James server allows an attacker with local access to access private user data in transit. Vulnerable components includes the SMTP stack and IMAP APPEND command. This issue affects Apache James server version 3.7.2 and prior versions.
Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
Unproper laxist permissions on the temporary files used by MIME4J TempFileStorageProvider may lead to information disclosure to other local users
CVE-2022-45787
5.5 - Medium
- January 06, 2023
Unproper laxist permissions on the temporary files used by MIME4J TempFileStorageProvider may lead to information disclosure to other local users. This issue affects Apache James MIME4J version 0.8.8 and prior versions. We recommend users to upgrade to MIME4j version 0.8.9 or later.
Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information
Apache James prior to release 3.6.3 and 3.7.1 is vulnerable to a buffering attack relying on the use of the STARTTLS command
CVE-2022-28220
7.5 - High
- September 08, 2022
Apache James prior to release 3.6.3 and 3.7.1 is vulnerable to a buffering attack relying on the use of the STARTTLS command. Fix of CVE-2021-38542, which solved similar problem fron Apache James 3.6.1, is subject to a parser differential and do not take into account concurrent requests.
Command Injection
Fix of CVE-2021-40525 do not prepend delimiters upon valid directory validations
CVE-2022-22931
4.3 - Medium
- February 07, 2022
Fix of CVE-2021-40525 do not prepend delimiters upon valid directory validations. Affected implementations include: - maildir mailbox store - Sieve file repository This enables a user to access other users data stores (limited to user names being prefixed by the value of the username being used).
Directory traversal
Apache James ManagedSieve implementation alongside with the file storage for sieve scripts is vulnerable to path traversal
CVE-2021-40525
9.1 - Critical
- January 04, 2022
Apache James ManagedSieve implementation alongside with the file storage for sieve scripts is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing reading and writing any file. This vulnerability had been patched in Apache James 3.6.1 and higher. We recommend the upgrade. Distributed and Cassandra based products are also not impacted.
Directory traversal
In Apache James, while fuzzing with Jazzer the IMAP parsing stack, we discover
CVE-2021-40111
6.5 - Medium
- January 04, 2022
In Apache James, while fuzzing with Jazzer the IMAP parsing stack, we discover that crafted APPEND and STATUS IMAP command could be used to trigger infinite loops resulting in expensive CPU computations and OutOfMemory exceptions. This can be used for a Denial Of Service attack. The IMAP user needs to be authenticated to exploit this vulnerability. This affected Apache James prior to version 3.6.1. This vulnerability had been patched in Apache James 3.6.1 and higher. We recommend the upgrade.
Infinite Loop
In Apache James, using Jazzer fuzzer, we identified
CVE-2021-40110
7.5 - High
- January 04, 2022
In Apache James, using Jazzer fuzzer, we identified that an IMAP user can craft IMAP LIST commands to orchestrate a Denial Of Service using a vulnerable Regular expression. This affected Apache James prior to 3.6.1 We recommend upgrading to Apache James 3.6.1 or higher , which enforce the use of RE2J regular expression engine to execute regex in linear time without back-tracking.
Apache James prior to release 3.6.1 is vulnerable to a buffering attack relying on the use of the STARTTLS command
CVE-2021-38542
5.9 - Medium
- January 04, 2022
Apache James prior to release 3.6.1 is vulnerable to a buffering attack relying on the use of the STARTTLS command. This can result in Man-in -the-middle command injection attacks, leading potentially to leakage of sensible information.
Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Apache PDFBox 2.0.14 does not properly initialize the XML parser, which
CVE-2019-0228
9.8 - Critical
- April 17, 2019
Apache PDFBox 2.0.14 does not properly initialize the XML parser, which allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XFDF.
