Inter7 vpopmail 4.10.35 and earlier, when using the MySQL module, compiles authentication information in cleartext into the libvpopmail.a library, which allows local users to obtain the MySQL username and password by inspecting the vpopmail programs that use the library.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can expose the MySQL credentials used by older vpopmail mail systems. A local user on the server may be able to recover those credentials from vpopmail-linked programs, creating risk to mail account data and administration records stored in MySQL. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running vpopmail 4.10.35 or earlier with the MySQL module enabled, especially shared-hosting or mail servers with local user access. Treat as a targeted legacy infrastructure risk. It is not shown as actively exploited, but affected shared mail servers can leak database credentials to local users, which may compromise hosted mail data. Mitigation focus: Identify any vpopmail deployments at version 4.10.35 or earlier.; Confirm whether the MySQL module is enabled or linked.; Check Inter7/vendor changelog guidance before selecting a fixed version or replacement..
