DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function opendmarc_sp2_find_mailfrom_domain of the file libopendmarc/opendmarc_spf.c of the component SPF Macro Handler. This manipulation causes improper authentication. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. Patch name: c48a74c758677fc5272a73eff15ffdbf8afda1a6. Applying a patch is the recommended action to fix this issue.

AnalysisAI

Email authentication bypass in OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to spoof sender domains by exploiting a misordered domain-setting sequence in the SPF Macro Handler, causing SPF-backed DMARC checks to evaluate the attacker-controlled HELO domain instead of the envelope MAIL FROM domain. Publicly available exploit code exists, though successful exploitation depends on the libspf2 version (some versions treat the first-set domain as the SPF check domain). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a target running OpenDMARC ≤1.4.2 with its libspf2-based SPF checking active (SPF Macro Handler in opendmarc_spf.c performing opendmarc_spf2_test). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but low-to-medium severity email-authentication flaw, not a critical one. … 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 Apply the upstream fix from commit c48a74c758677fc5272a73eff15ffdbf8afda1a6, available through pull request #328 on the OpenDMARC GitHub repository; this is the primary remediation, though a released patched version (e.g., a tagged release) is not independently confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
