Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.6)—

An issue was discovered in HSC Mailinspector 5.2.17-3 through v.5.2.18. An Unauthenticated Path Traversal vulnerability exists in the /public/loader.php file. The path parameter does not properly filter whether the file and directory passed are part of the webroot, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
