Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-1916 is an old remote code execution issue in the @Mail WebMail Client in AtMail Open-Source before 1.05. A malicious email attachment with an executable extension could result in an executable file being created under tmp/. Business risk depends on whether this legacy webmail software remains deployed. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running AtMail Open-Source @Mail WebMail Client before 1.05, especially internet-facing webmail deployments that process email attachments. Treat as a targeted legacy-technology risk. If AtMail Open-Source is not present, urgency is low. If it is present and internet-facing, prioritize removal, upgrade, or isolation because the stated impact is arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Identify any AtMail Open-Source @Mail WebMail Client deployments.; Upgrade systems running versions before 1.05, where still supported.; Check vendor and CERT guidance before selecting compensating controls..
