Technical ContextAI · show details

Classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). Affects the WebAdmin component of Axigen Mail Server. Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.57 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the WebAdmin interface. A delegated admin account with zero permissions can bypass access control checks and gain unauthorized access to the SSL Certificates management endpoint (page=sslcerts). This allows the attacker to view, download, upload, and delete SSL certificate files, despite lacking the necessary privileges to access the Security & Filtering section.

DescriptionCVE.org

Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.57 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the WebAdmin interface. A delegated admin account with zero permissions can bypass access control checks and gain unauthorized access to the SSL Certificates management endpoint (page=sslcerts). This allows the attacker to view, download, upload, and delete SSL certificate files, despite lacking the necessary privileges to access the Security & Filtering section.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Axigen Mail Server versions before 10.5.57 contain a critical access control flaw allowing delegated administrators with minimal permissions to illegally access SSL certificate management, potentially enabling attackers to intercept encrypted communications or issue fraudulent certificates. This vulnerability affects any organization using vulnerable Axigen versions and requires immediate remediation as no patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block unauthorized access to SSL certificate management endpoints; restrict WebAdmin interface access via network segmentation and IP whitelisting to trusted administrative networks only; disable WebAdmin for all delegated administrator accounts lacking legitimate administrative need; enable detailed logging and monitoring of all certificate management activities; consider temporarily disabling delegated admin functionality until patch availability; implement reverse proxy authentication controls in front of WebAdmin interface.
