CVE-2026-101015: Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC input validation in policy.c

CVE-2026-101015 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-28

OpenDMARC is an email authentication system that validates DMARC protocol compliance for incoming messages. A flaw in the policy validation logic allows an attacker to bypass input validation checks, potentially permitting forged or spoofed email messages to pass authentication checks. An attacker can exploit this remotely without authentication to compromise email security controls.
