Prior to version 2025-01a, a vulnerability in mailcow's password reset functionality allows an attacker to manipulate the Host HTTP header to generate a password reset link pointing to an attacker-controlled domain. This can lead to account takeover if a user clicks the poisoned link. Version 2025-01a contains a patch.
