AI-suggested

Users should avoid configuring hMailServer with TlsMode=verify-full without specifying a valid TlsCaFile. Since the default TlsMode is prefer, which does not enforce certificate verification, reverting to default settings mitigates the issue. Applying a proper CA file for certificate verification or upgrading to versions that address this issue when available is recommended. Monitor vendor advisories for official patches or updates.

Description

hMailServer versions 6.3.4 through 6.3.7, when configured with a MySQL or MariaDB database using TlsMode=verify-full but without specifying a TlsCaFile, do not properly verify the database server's certificate issuer or name for connections treated as local by MariaDB Connector/C. This allows a local attacker who can impersonate the database server to intercept database credentials and manipulate traffic between hMailServer and the database. The issue arises because MariaDB Connector/C versions 3.4.1 and later accept any valid self-signed certificate without proper verification in these local connection scenarios. The default configuration is not affected as TlsMode defaults to prefer, which does not enforce certificate verification.
