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
Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.57 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the WebAdmin interface. A delegated admin account with zero permissions can bypass access control checks and gain unauthorized access to the SSL Certificates management endpoint (page=sslcerts). This allows the attacker to view, download, upload, and delete SSL certificate files, despite lacking the necessary privileges to access the Security & Filtering section.

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.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.57 has an authorization bypass in its WebAdmin interface where a delegated admin account with zero permissions can circumvent access control checks to reach the SSL Certificates management endpoint (page=sslcerts). This enables unauthenticated viewing, downloading, uploading, and deletion of SSL certificate files and unauthorized access to the Security & Filtering section.

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. Identify Axigen Mail Server installation and version
    Run command 'axigen --version' or check the installed package version using the system package manager (e.g., 'rpm -q axigen' or 'dpkg -l axigen'). Alternatively, access WebAdmin and check the version displayed in the footer or About section.
    Affected if The installed version falls within >= 10.3.0 and < 10.5.57, or >= 10.6.0 and < 10.6.26.
  2. Verify WebAdmin interface is accessible
    Check if the WebAdmin service is running and reachable by accessing the WebAdmin URL (typically https://localhost:9000 or https://hostname:9000). Confirm the service is listening on the expected port.
    Affected if WebAdmin interface is exposed and reachable.
  3. Identify delegated admin accounts in the configuration
    Examine the Axigen configuration files (typically located in /var/opt/axigen or /opt/axigen) for delegated administrator accounts. Look for accounts defined with domain delegation or limited permissions in the admin accounts configuration.
    Affected if There exists a delegated admin account with zero or minimal permissions configured.
  4. Test access to the SSL Certificates endpoint
    Using a web browser or HTTP client, attempt to access the WebAdmin SSL Certificates page directly using a URL pattern such as '/?page=sslcerts' or '/static/sslcerts' while authenticated as a zero-permission delegated admin account.
    Affected if The SSL Certificates management page (page=sslcerts) is accessible and allows viewing, downloading, uploading, or deleting SSL certificate files without proper authorization.

You are affected if your Axigen Mail Server version is between 10.3.0 and 10.5.56, or between 10.6.0 and 10.6.25, AND WebAdmin is accessible with a delegated admin account that can bypass authorization to access the SSL Certificates endpoint.
