DescriptionCVE.org

The GINA web interface in SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before version 15.0.1 does not properly check attachment filenames in GINA-encrypted emails, allowing an attacker to access files on the gateway.

AnalysisAI

Improper filename validation in SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway's GINA web interface (versions before 15.0.1) enables unauthenticated remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the gateway through specially crafted encrypted email attachments. This path traversal vulnerability affects the confidentiality of sensitive data stored on affected systems. No patch is currently available.

Technical ContextAI

Classified as CWE-22 (Path Traversal). Affects Seppmail. The GINA web interface in SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before version 15.0.1 does not properly check attachment filenames in GINA-encrypted emails, allowing an attacker to access files on the gateway.

RemediationAI

Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use allowlists. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
