Since the vulnerability requires backend user access to the mail module, restricting such access to trusted users is recommended. Monitor vendor advisories for any forthcoming patches or updates addressing this issue.

Description

This vulnerability (CVE-2026-120331) involves a mail module that fetches content from external URLs, including stylesheets and images, without validating the target host. Backend users with access to this mail module can cause the server to send requests to internal network hosts. This behavior can potentially be abused to access internal resources. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.3.
