Summary

In MailEnable versions prior to 10.54, user and administrative passwords are stored in cleartext within AUTH.SAV with overly permissive filesystem access. A local authenticated user with read access to this file can recover all user passwords and super-admin credentials.

Risk Assessment

Credential exposure enables account takeover, mailbox access, and administrative control over MailEnable services (POP3, SMTP, webmail). The risk affects organizations with local users who have access to the server filesystem.

Recommendation

Update MailEnable to version 10.54 or later. Restrict permissions on AUTH.SAV and rotate all potentially exposed passwords.

Original NVD description (English source)

MailEnable versions prior to 10.54 contain a cleartext storage of credentials vulnerability that can lead to local credential compromise and account takeover. The product stores user and administrative passwords in plaintext within AUTH.SAV with overly permissive filesystem access. A local authenticated user with read access to this file can recover all user passwords and super-admin credentials, then use them to authenticate to MailEnable services such as POP3, SMTP, or the webmail interface, enabling unauthorized mailbox access and administrative control.
