Details
Summary
CVE-2024-35179 is a vulnerability affecting the Stalwart Mail Server before version 0.8.0. When the `RUN_AS_USER` feature is used, an attacker can exploit this issue to read arbitrary files as the root user, despite the expectations of restricted access based on the `RUN_AS_USER` setting. This vulnerability poses a significant risk for admin users who have granted credentials to the mail server but assume they only grant limited access. Attackers can leverage another vulnerability to achieve Arbitrary Code Execution, making it possible to read sensitive files with root privileges. The vulnerability is mitigated in version 0.8.0, which includes a patch to address the issue.
