mailpost.exe in MailPost 5.1.1sv, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash), leak sensitive pathname information in the resulting error message, and execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack via an HTTP request that contains a / (backslash) and arbitrary webscript before the requested file, which leaks the pathname and does not quote the script in the resulting Visual Basic error message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy MailPost flaw where a crafted web request to mailpost.exe can crash the server, expose local path information, and trigger reflected script execution in a user’s browser. The main business concern is availability impact and legacy internet exposure, not confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy MailPost web deployments where mailpost.exe is reachable over HTTP. The sources do not provide reliable CPEs, deployment prevalence, or a complete affected-version range. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It warrants prompt action if MailPost is internet-facing, but the provided evidence does not support emergency active-exploitation handling. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove any exposed MailPost mailpost.exe deployments no longer required.; Check vendor or trusted advisory guidance for any fixed MailPost release.; Restrict HTTP access to mailpost.exe where business use remains required..
