Summary
SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before 15.1.1 evaluates attacker-influenced replacement text as Perl code in sender or recipient replacement rules. An unauthenticated remote sender can run operating-system commands in the mail-processing worker when an active rule uses message-derived replacement data and its search condition matches. The validated worker context was root.
