Integrity: None
Availability: High

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Apply patches or updates from the vendor as soon as they become available to address the vulnerability in the AppConnector component. 2. Until patches are released, restrict access to the /osrest/api/organization/sendmail endpoint by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules limiting access to trusted internal systems only. 3. Employ strict input validation and sanitization on all API inputs, especially those interacting with SMTP or command interfaces. 4. Monitor SMTP traffic for unusual patterns or unauthorized command sequences indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Implement anomaly detection on email sending behavior to identify potential abuse of the SMTP relay. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on API endpoints and email infrastructure. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response. 8. Review and tighten email server configurations to prevent unauthorized relay and enforce strong authentication mechanisms. 9. Maintain comprehensive logging and alerting on API usage and email sending activities to facilitate forensic analysis if exploitation occurs.

Description

An issue was discovered in the AppConnector component version 10.10.0.183 and earlier of enaio 10.10, in the AppConnector component version 11.0.0.183 and earlier of enaio 11.0, and in the AppConnctor component version 11.10.0.183 and earlier of enaio 11.10. The vulnerability allows authenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SMTP commands via crafted input to the /osrest/api/organization/sendmail endpoint

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-56425 is significant due to the widespread use of enaio in enterprise document management, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, finance, and public administration. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized email transmissions that may facilitate phishing campaigns, data exfiltration, or spreading malware internally and externally. The high confidentiality impact means sensitive documents or communications could be exposed. The availability impact could disrupt email services, affecting business continuity. Organizations with exposed or insufficiently protected API endpoints are at higher risk. The reputational damage and potential regulatory consequences under GDPR for data breaches further amplify the impact. Additionally, the ability to send arbitrary SMTP commands could allow attackers to bypass email security controls, complicating detection and response efforts. This threat could also be leveraged as a pivot point for broader network compromise.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #23OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
Architecture and Design
If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
Implementation
If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
