Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in the POP service in MailEnable Standard Edition before 1.94, Professional Edition before 1.74, and Enterprise Edition before 1.22 has unknown attack vectors and impact related to "authentication exploits". NOTE: this is a different set of affected versions, and probably a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1337.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm MailEnable installation
    Check for MailEnable installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\MailEnable or C:\MailEnable) or look for MailEnable services in Windows Services (services.msc)
    Affected if MailEnable is not installed on the system
  2. Identify MailEnable edition
    Check the MailEnable program folder name (MailEnable Standard, Professional, or Enterprise) or check the About section in MailEnable administrator console
    Affected if Edition cannot be determined but MailEnable is present
  3. Determine installed version number
    Open MailEnable administrator console, go to the General or About section to view the exact version number, or check the version in the installed program files
    Affected if Version matches one of the affected version lists for the identified edition
  4. Verify POP3 service is enabled
    Open Windows Services (services.msc) and check if the MailEnable POP3 service is running, or check via MailEnable administrator that POP3 protocol is enabled
    Affected if POP3 service is running and version is in the affected list for that edition

System is affected if MailEnable Standard version 1.93 or earlier, Professional version 1.54 or earlier, or Enterprise version 1.21 or earlier is installed with the POP3 service enabled.
