Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities Merak Mail Server 7.4.5 with Icewarp Web Mail 5.2.7, and possibly other versions, allow remote attackers to (1) create arbitrary directories via a ..

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old directory traversal issue in Merak Mail Server with Icewarp Web Mail. A remote attacker could manipulate webmail folder-related inputs to create directories or rename files outside intended paths. Business risk mainly exists where legacy Icewarp/Merak webmail remains reachable, especially on internet-facing mail systems. Exposure is most likely in legacy Merak Mail Server or Icewarp Web Mail deployments, particularly internet-facing webmail portals. The source says possibly other versions, but does not identify a precise affected range beyond 7.4.5 and 5.2.7. Prioritize if any legacy Icewarp/Merak webmail is exposed. Mail systems are high-value infrastructure, and the source-described file operation impact can disrupt service or support further compromise. If no such products exist, business priority is low. Mitigation focus: Identify any Merak Mail Server or Icewarp Web Mail deployments and versions.; Check vendor or current IceWarp guidance for fixed versions or supported migration paths.; Restrict webmail access to trusted networks until remediation is confirmed..
