AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Adjacent vector and high complexity reflect required network proximity and precise timing measurement; confidentiality is low since only secret length, not value, is disclosed.

2DescriptionCVE.org
The comparison used for the doveadm password and API key is not fully timing safe and can reveal the length of the configured secret. An attacker with access to the same network as the doveadm service, able to make repeated requests and measure response timing accurately, can learn the length of the secret, which reduces the effort needed to guess it. The secret value itself is not disclosed. Restrict network access to the doveadm service to trusted clients. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits are known.
AnalysisAI
Timing side-channel in OX Dovecot Pro and CE exposes the length of configured doveadm passwords and API keys to adjacent-network attackers who can send repeated unauthenticated requests and measure response latency with high precision. The secret value itself is never disclosed - only its length - which marginally reduces brute-force search space. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to be on the same adjacent network segment as the doveadm service (AV:A per CVSS) - internet-based remote exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the realistic threat model. … 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 | Update to the non-vulnerable version per the Open-Xchange CSAF advisory at https://documentation.open-xchange.com/dovecot/security/advisories/csaf/2026/oxdc-adv-2026-0003.json - exact patched version numbers must be confirmed there, as the available intelligence does not specify them. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
