Summary

In Paperless-ngx, the MailAccountViewSet.test action, when called with an existing account's ID and a masked password field, reuses the stored password, account_type, refresh_token, and expiration while allowing the caller to supply different imap_server, imap_port, and imap_security in the same request.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this to test email accounts with altered server parameters, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data leakage.

Recommendation

Update Paperless-ngx to a version that validates account parameter consistency and prevents mixing stored data with new values.
