script-login in Dovecot 2.0.x before 2.0.13 does not follow the chroot configuration setting, which might allow remote authenticated users to conduct directory traversal attacks by leveraging a script.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older Dovecot 2.0 mail servers. A login helper called script-login did not honor a configured chroot boundary, which could let an authenticated remote user traverse directories through a script. The issue is old and fixed in Dovecot 2.0.13, but unsupported legacy mail systems should be checked. Likely exposure is limited to Dovecot 2.0.x versions before 2.0.13 where script-login and chroot configuration are relevant. Modern or fully patched distribution packages are less likely exposed, especially where vendor backports include the fix. Treat this as a legacy mail-server hygiene issue unless old Dovecot 2.0.x remains in production. If found on internet-facing or multi-user systems, prioritize remediation because authenticated users could potentially cross intended filesystem boundaries. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Dovecot 2.0.x systems to 2.0.13 or later.; Apply vendor or distribution security updates, including relevant backported fixes.; Prioritize internet-facing mail servers and shared hosting environments..
