Modoboa is an open-source mail server management platform that administrators use to monitor domains, DNS, MX records, and blocklists. An authenticated user could delete alarm notifications belonging to other domains by guessing sequential alarm IDs, preventing administrators from seeing critical infrastructure failures across the system.

Technical details

An insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the bulk_delete API endpoint (POST /api/v2/alarms/bulk_delete/) allows authenticated users to delete alarms outside their domain scope. The vulnerability exists because the endpoint failed to filter alarms by domain ownership before deletion; the fix changed the query from models.Alarm.objects.filter() to self.get_queryset().filter(), which applies proper authorization checks. Attackers with valid credentials can enumerate sequential alarm IDs to target DNS, MX, and blocklist monitoring alerts server-wide.
