CVE-2026-102094: CWE-470 Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection') in Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway
Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway versions before 9.5.0 contain an unsafe reflection vulnerability (CWE-470) that allows an authenticated administrator with mail-rule configuration privileges to cause the gateway to load and execute unauthorized code from imported rule configurations. This could lead to execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the mail-gateway service account.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-102094 describes an unsafe reflection vulnerability in Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway prior to version 9.5.0. The vulnerability arises because the gateway does not sufficiently restrict the classes or code that can be loaded from imported mail-rule configurations. An authenticated administrator with mail-rule configuration privileges can exploit this to load and execute code beyond the approved mail-processing components, potentially executing arbitrary code in the context of the mail-gateway service account.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the mail-gateway service account, potentially leading to full compromise of the email processing system. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway to version 9.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory specifying the fixed version.
