AI-suggested

No explicit patch or fix is stated in the provided data. If you cannot patch yet, administrators should consider disabling the REST API if not needed, restrict access to the REST API and webmail interfaces, and monitor for unusually large JSON payloads in TLS-RPT reports. Avoid enabling features that expose the JSON reader to unauthenticated remote attackers. Review mail server configurations to limit exposure to this attack vector.

Description

CVE-2026-126613 is a high-severity vulnerability in Progressive Robot Ltd's hMailServer versions 6.3.2 through 6.3.7. It involves allocation of resources without limits in the JSON reader, allowing remote attackers to exhaust server memory and threads. This causes unavailability of mail delivery, the REST API, and webmail services. The issue arises because the JSON reader builds a large tree of values without bounding the number of values, leading to excessive memory use from specially crafted JSON documents up to 16 MB in size. The vulnerability can be triggered via TLS-RPT reports, REST API requests, and webmail routes under certain configurations. This defect is distinct from CVE-2026-107574 and has no known exploits in the wild.
