CVE-2026-40874 PUBLISHED

mailcow: dockerized missing authorization on Forwarding Hosts delete action

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 15.04.2026 Published: 21.04.2026 Updated: 21.04.2026

mailcow: dockerized is an open source groupware/email suite based on docker. In versions prior to 2026-03b, no administrator verification takes place when deleting Forwarding Hosts with /api/v1/delete/fwdhost. Any authenticated user can call this API. Checks are only applied for edit/add actions, but deletion can still significantly disrupt the mail service. Version 2026-03b fixes the vulnerability.
