Official Description

GFI MailEssentials AI versions prior to 22.4 contain an arbitrary directory existence enumeration vulnerability in the ListServer.IsPathExist() web method exposed at /MailEssentials/pages/MailSecurity/ListServer.aspx/IsPathExist. An authenticated user can supply an unrestricted filesystem path via the JSON key \"path\", which is URL-decoded and passed to Directory.Exists(), allowing the attacker to determine whether arbitrary directories exist on the server.
