The Mailer component in Evolution 2.26.1 and earlier uses world-readable permissions for the .evolution directory, and certain directories and files under .evolution/ related to local mail, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Evolution Mailer 2.26.1 and earlier may store local mail data under .evolution with permissions readable by other local users. On shared Linux systems, this could expose email content or related sensitive information to someone who already has local access. Exposure is most likely on Linux workstations or shared systems running Evolution 2.26.1 or earlier, especially where multiple local user accounts exist and local mail is stored under .evolution. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure rather than an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize shared workstations, jump boxes, and older desktop fleets where local users could read another user’s mail. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems using Evolution 2.26.1 or earlier.; Check GNOME, Red Hat, Debian, or distribution guidance for fixed packages.; Limit local account access on shared systems where Evolution is installed..
