Summary

The SMTP server in hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.6 logs credentials that should be hidden, including AUTH PLAIN passwords in certain forms, OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (XOAUTH2, OAUTHBEARER), the SCRAM-SHA-256 client proof, and the GSSAPI authenticator. A local user able to read the logs, or anyone with a copy, can obtain credentials.

Risk Assessment

Credential leakage from logs may enable unauthorized access to mail accounts, and for SCRAM-SHA-256 also offline password guessing.

Recommendation

Update hMailServer to version 6.3.6 or later, restrict access to the log directory, and consider disabling or securing SMTP logging.

Original NVD description (English source)

Insertion of sensitive information into a log file in the SMTP server of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.6 allows a local user who can read the server's log, or anyone given a copy of it, to obtain credentials. With SMTP logging enabled, the server hid the credential of an AUTH PLAIN command only when it was sent after EHLO in one exact form, and wrote the rest of the SASL exchange as the client sent it: a PLAIN password sent before EHLO or with extra spacing, the OAuth 2.0 bearer token of AUTH XOAUTH2 and AUTH OAUTHBEARER (from 6.2.0), the SCRAM-SHA-256 client proof (from 6.2.0), which with the logged salt and iteration count allows offline password guessing, and the GSSAPI authenticator (from 6.3.2). SMTP logging is off by default; on Windows before 6.3.6 the log folder was readable by every local user.
