Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Bulwark Webmail is a self-hosted webmail client for Stalwart Mail Server. Prior to 1.4.11, S/MIME signature verification did not validate the certificate trust chain (checkChain: false). Any email signed with a self-signed or untrusted certificate was displayed as having a valid signature. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.11.
AnalysisAI
S/MIME signature verification in Bulwark Webmail prior to 1.4.11 fails to validate certificate trust chains, allowing attackers to forge digitally signed emails using self-signed or untrusted certificates that appear legitimate to recipients. This integrity bypass affects all unauthenticated remote attackers (CVSS:4.0 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) with high integrity impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Bulwark Webmail versions prior to 1.4.11 with S/MIME signature verification enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N reflects the ease of exploitation (network-accessible, low complexity, no authentication or user interaction required) and high integrity impact (VI:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker generates a self-signed X.509 certificate claiming to represent a trusted entity such as a corporate executive or financial institution. The attacker crafts a phishing email requesting wire transfer authorization or credential disclosure, signs it with the self-signed certificate using standard S/MIME tools, and sends it to Bulwark Webmail users. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Bulwark Webmail to version 1.4.11 or later, which restores proper certificate trust chain validation in S/MIME signature verification. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
