Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
Doveadm credentials are verified using direct comparison which is susceptible to timing oracle attack. An attacker can use this to determine the configured credentials. Figuring out the credential will lead into full access to the affected component. Limit access to the doveadm http service port, install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.
Analysis
OX Dovecot Pro's doveadm HTTP service is vulnerable to timing oracle attacks during credential verification, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid credentials through timing analysis and gain full administrative access to the doveadm management interface. The vulnerability affects OX Dovecot Pro installations with exposed doveadm HTTP service ports, carries a CVSS score of 7.4, and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Immediately audit network exposure of doveadm HTTP service ports (default 8080) across all Dovecot Pro installations using port scanning and firewall logs; disable external access via network segmentation or firewall rules if business operations permit. Within 7 days: Implement reverse proxy authentication (e.g., nginx with HTTP Basic Auth or OAuth gateway) in front of doveadm; rotate all doveadm administrative credentials and review access logs for suspicious timing-based requests. …
