Matt Wright FormMail 1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass the HTTP_REFERER check and conduct unauthorized activities via (1) a blank referer, (2) a spoofed referer with a trusted domain/URL after the beginning of the referer, or (3) a spoofed referer with a trusted domain/URL in the beginning (hostname) portion of the referer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects Matt Wright FormMail 1.9 and earlier. The script trusted the HTTP Referer header to decide whether requests were allowed. Attackers could bypass that check, potentially abusing exposed form mailers for unauthorized activity such as anonymous mail forwarding. Exposure is most likely on legacy websites still running Matt Wright FormMail 1.9 or earlier, especially old CGI deployments using referer checks to protect mail submission behavior. Treat this as a legacy internet-exposed risk. It is unlikely to be strategic by itself, but exposed instances can create abuse, reputational, and mail-deliverability problems. Mitigation focus: Inventory public web servers for Matt Wright FormMail 1.9 or earlier.; Check the vendor FormMail page for current guidance before changing production systems.; Remove or disable exposed legacy FormMail scripts if no maintained path exists..
