Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: N-able
Product: Mail Assure

Description

N-able Mail Assure through April 2026 has a design-level authorization flaw that allows authenticated SMTP users to send outbound emails using MAIL FROM addresses of other tenants. The SMTP server does not enforce domain-to-account binding after SMTP AUTH, enabling sender domain spoofing across tenants. N-able states this behavior is intended as part of its shared SMTP relay design and does not enforce per-tenant sender-domain binding. This vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.3.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-68624 describes an authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability (CWE-290) in N-able Mail Assure's SMTP service. Authenticated SMTP users can specify arbitrary MAIL FROM addresses belonging to other tenants because the server does not enforce domain-to-account binding post-authentication. This allows attackers to impersonate other tenant domains, producing emails that pass SPF and DMARC validation. N-able considers this behavior intentional within its shared SMTP relay architecture and does not provide per-tenant sender-domain enforcement.

Potential Impact

An attacker with valid SMTP credentials from any tenant can send emails that appear to originate from other tenants' domains. This can lead to domain impersonation and potentially undermine trust in email authenticity, as spoofed messages can pass SPF and DMARC checks. However, there is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is available. N-able states this behavior is intended functionality of its shared SMTP relay architecture and does not enforce per-tenant sender-domain binding. Users should be aware of this design choice and consider compensating controls outside the service if domain spoofing risk is unacceptable. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
