Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2. This affects the function opendmarc_policy_parse_dmarc in the library libopendmarc/opendmarc_policy.c. The manipulation of the argument fo/rf/ri/pct/sp/adkim/aspf/rua/ruf leads to handling of exceptional conditions. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Malformed DMARC policy tags (fo, rf, ri, pct, sp, adkim, aspf, rua, ruf) supplied in attacker-controlled DNS TXT records trigger improper handling of exceptional conditions in OpenDMARC 1.4.2 and earlier (opendmarc_policy_parse_dmarc), letting remote unauthenticated senders disrupt or weaken DMARC enforcement on mail servers that run OpenDMARC as a Postfix or Sendmail milter. Impact is confined to availability (milter crash/denial of processing) and integrity (misapplied or weakened policy), not code execution or data theft. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The receiving mail server must run OpenDMARC (<=1.4.2) as a Postfix/Sendmail milter with DMARC evaluation enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine-but-modest DMARC-integrity issue, not a high-severity emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis: the Trusted Domain Project was contacted early about the disclosure but did not respond, and no fixed version beyond 1.4.2 is documented in the available references (https://vuldb.com/vuln/410886). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
