Summary

Progressive Robot hMailServer from 6.2.25 through 6.3.6 has a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in its REST metrics route. A remote authenticated user whose credential is limited to named domains can read the server-wide traffic counters for the last 30 days. The exposed data is aggregate operational counters, not messages or accounts.

Description from the CNA

Missing authorization in the REST metrics route of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.2.25 through 6.3.6 allows a remote authenticated user whose credential is confined to named domains to read the server-wide traffic history. GET /api/v1/metrics/history returns the server's traffic counters over the last 30 days; those counters are server-wide and carry no domain, which is why the report routes already refuse the same counters to a credential confined to named domains. The metrics route was not among the routes the server's authorization gate refuses a confined credential and its handler was not given the caller, so a domain administrator, an account given another role that holds view_configuration in named domains (the auditor role given a domain list among them), or an API key issued for named domains could read the whole server's traffic totals rather than its own domains'. The disclosure is of aggregate operational counters, not of any message or account.
