DescriptionCVE.org

Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.57 contains multiple stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the WebAdmin interface. Three instances exist: (1) the log file name parameter in the Local Services Log page, (2) certificate file content in the SSL Certificates View Usage feature, and (3) the Certificate File name parameter in the WebMail Listeners SSL settings. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript payloads that execute in administrators' browsers when they access affected pages or features, enabling privilege escalation attacks where low-privileged admins can force high-privileged admins to perform unauthorized actions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Axigen Mail Server versions before 10.5.57 contain critical stored XSS vulnerabilities in the WebAdmin interface that could allow attackers to compromise administrator accounts and gain control of email infrastructure. Any organization running affected Axigen versions faces immediate risk of data theft, email interception, and system compromise through administrator credential theft.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block malicious script payloads in WebAdmin requests; restrict WebAdmin interface access via network segmentation and IP allowlisting to authorized administrator networks only; disable WebAdmin interface entirely if alternative administration methods exist; implement multi-factor authentication for all administrator accounts; monitor WebAdmin access logs for suspicious activity and XSS injection attempts; consider deploying a reverse proxy with input validation in front of WebAdmin interface.

Attack Technique

Cross-Site Scripting MEDIUM

Cross-Site Scripting occurs when an application accepts untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or encoding.

Privilege Escalation HIGH

Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
