CVE-2026-114424: SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway code injection in address replacement rules

CVE-2026-114424 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-04

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway is an email security appliance that filters and processes messages. A vulnerability in its address replacement rules allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by crafting emails that exploit unsafe Perl code evaluation. An attacker without authentication can send a specially crafted message to trigger command execution with the privileges of the mail-processing worker.

Technologies: Seppmail Secure Email Gateway. Vendors: Seppmail.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 15.1.1

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in SEPPmail's rule engine, which improperly evaluates replacement text in sender or recipient replacement rules as Perl code without sufficient sanitization. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a message with crafted content that, when matched by an active replacement rule, results in arbitrary code execution in the mail-processing worker context (validated as running as root). The issue is fixed in version 15.1.1 by hardening evaluation of replacement values to prevent code execution.
