mailcow: dockerized is an open source groupware/email suite based on docker. In versions prior to 2026-03b, the admin dashboard's Autodiscover logs render the EMailAddress value (logged as the "user" field) without HTML escaping. By submitting an unauthenticated Autodiscover request with a crafted EMailAddress containing HTML/JS, the payload is stored in Redis and executed when an admin views the Autodiscover logs. Version 2026-03b fixes the vulnerability.
No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
