DescriptionCVE.org

ManageSieve AUTHENTICATE command crashes when using literal as SASL initial response. This can be used to crash ManageSieve service repeatedly, making it unavailable for other users. Control access to ManageSieve port, or disable the service if it's not needed. Alternatively upgrade to a fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.

AnalysisAI

OX Dovecot Pro ManageSieve service crashes when processing AUTHENTICATE commands with SASL initial responses using literal format, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to repeatedly crash the service and deny availability to legitimate users (CVSS 7.5, High availability impact). The vulnerability affects OX Dovecot Pro installations with ManageSieve enabled. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS data was not provided in available intelligence.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the ManageSieve protocol implementation within OX Dovecot Pro (CPE cpe:2.3:a:open-xchange_gmbh:ox_dovecot_pro). ManageSieve is an IETF protocol (RFC 5804) that allows users to manage server-side mail filtering rules (Sieve scripts). The flaw is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), indicating the service fails to properly validate or handle literal syntax when used as a SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) initial response during the AUTHENTICATE command sequence. This input validation failure causes the ManageSieve process to crash, requiring restart and disrupting service availability for all users attempting to manage their mail filters.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to the fixed version of OX Dovecot Pro as specified in the vendor security advisory at https://documentation.open-xchange.com/dovecot/security/advisories/csaf/2026/oxdc-adv-2026-0001.json. Until patching is possible, implement network-level access controls to restrict ManageSieve port access (typically TCP 4190) to only trusted IP ranges or authenticated VPN connections. Organizations not requiring server-side Sieve script management capabilities should disable the ManageSieve service entirely in the Dovecot configuration (set protocols to exclude managesieve). The vendor advisory references a patch available per the CSAF document, though the exact fixed version number was not included in the analyzed intelligence feed.
