{"id":"CVE-2026-49979","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-49979","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T01:13:39.895Z","title":"Prior to 1.99, the POST /api/v1/admin/send-test-email endpoint accepts attacker-controlled smtpHost and smtpPort values and establishes a raw JavaMail TCP connection without any IP validation.","description":"Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Prior to 1.99, the POST /api/v1/admin/send-test-email endpoint accepts attacker-controlled smtpHost and smtpPort values and establishes a raw JavaMail TCP connection without any IP validation. This completely bypasses WebClientUtils.IP_CHECK_FILTER, which only applies to Spring WebClient HTTP requests. Additionally, the raw MailException.getMessage() is returned verbatim in the API error response, enabling error-based internal port scanning and service banner enumeration. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.99.","published":"2026-06-24T22:16:47.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-25T23:10:00.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":5.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-209","CWE-918"],"affected":["appsmith/appsmith"],"epss":{"score":0.00369,"percentile":0.30514,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%).
