Severity: critical
Affected versions:
- Pony Mail: all versions
Description:
** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests
('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') vulnerability in Pony Mail leading to admin
account takeover.
This issue affects all versions of the Lua implementation of Pony Mail. There
is a Python implementation under development under the name "Pony Mail Foal"
that is not affected by this issue, but hasn't been released yet.
As the Lua implementation of this project is retired, we do not plan to release
a version that fixes this issue. Users are recommended to find an alternative
or restrict access to the instance to trusted users.
NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by
the maintainer.
