AI-suggested

No explicit patch or fix link is provided in the advisory. The vulnerability is specific to installations or upgrades performed in folders writable by non-administrators. The default installation under Program Files is not affected. To mitigate, ensure hMailServer is installed and upgraded only in secure directories with administrator-only write permissions. Avoid installing or upgrading in folders that other accounts can write to. Monitor vendor advisories for any official patches or updates addressing this issue.

Description

CVE-2026-126624 is a high-severity vulnerability in Progressive Robot Ltd's hMailServer version 6.3.7. It involves unverified ownership in the Windows installer, allowing a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges if the installation or upgrade occurs in a folder writable by non-administrators. The default installation under Program Files is not affected. This flaw arises because the installer does not change ownership or permissions of pre-existing files or folders that may be controlled by other accounts, enabling privilege escalation via malicious binaries or scripts loaded by the service.
