CWE-79Published: March 12, 2026· Updated: Mar 12, 2026
Official Description
Postal is an open source SMTP server. Postal versions less than 3.3.5 had a HTML injection vulnerability that allowed unescaped data to be included in the admin interface. The primary way for unescaped data to be added is via the API's "send/raw" method. This could allow arbitrary HTML to be injected in to the page which may modify the page in a misleading way or allow for unauthorised javascript to be executed. Fixed in 3.3.5 and higher.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-25529 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 8.1.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
