The NTLM authentication in MailEnable Professional 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 allows remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving crafted base64 encoded NTLM Type 3 messages, or (2) cause a denial of service via crafted base64 encoded NTLM Type 1 messages, which trigger a buffer over-read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old MailEnable vulnerability affecting Professional 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0. A remote attacker could abuse NTLM authentication handling to crash the service or potentially run arbitrary code. The public bundle does not provide CVSS, exploit status, or a named fixed version. Exposure is most likely on legacy MailEnable Professional 2.0 or Enterprise 2.0 servers where NTLM-authenticated mail services remain reachable from untrusted networks. Treat as high priority only if legacy MailEnable 2.0 is still present. For modern environments without that software, business urgency is low after inventory confirms absence. Mitigation focus: Identify any MailEnable Professional 2.0 or Enterprise 2.0 systems.; Check MailEnable vendor hotfix and upgrade guidance for this issue.; Retire or isolate legacy MailEnable servers if vendor-supported fixes are unavailable..
