CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Inter7 SqWebMail 3.4.1 through 3.6.1 generates different error messages for incorrect passwords versus correct passwords on non-mail-enabled accounts (such as root), which allows remote attackers to guess the root password via brute force attacks.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2004-2313 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
