CVE-2026-27443
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 · uneditedSEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before version 15.0.1 does not properly sanitize the headers from S/MIME protected MIME entities, allowing an attacker to control trusted headers.
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 · moderate confidenceSEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before version 15.0.1 fails to properly sanitize headers extracted from S/MIME protected MIME entities during email processing. This allows an attacker who can send S/MIME protected emails to inject or manipulate headers that the system treats as trusted, potentially enabling email spoofing, phishing, or header injection attacks.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine SEPPmail versionAccess the SEPPmail admin interface or run the command to retrieve the installed version (typically found in system information or about section)Affected if The installed version is below 15.0.1
-
Verify S/MIME processing is enabledCheck the SEPPmail configuration for S/MIME settings - look for S/MIME decryption or MIME entity processing configurationAffected if S/MIME processing is enabled and the version is below 15.0.1
-
Confirm inbound S/MIME email handlingReview email flow configuration to determine if the gateway processes incoming S/MIME protected emailsAffected if The system processes inbound S/MIME emails and the version is below 15.0.1
You are affected if your SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway version is below 15.0.1 and the S/MIME processing feature is enabled for incoming emails.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
