CVE-2022-45787: Apache James MIME4J: Temporary File Information Disclosure in MIME4J TempFileStorageProvider

Published Jan 6, 2023
·
Updated

A flaw was found in Apache James's Mime4j TempFileStorageProvider class, where it may set improper permissions when utilizing temporary files. This flaw allows a locally authorized attacker to access information outside their intended permissions.

Other sources

Apache James MIME4J could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper laxist permissions on the temporary files. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.

— IBM

Unproper laxist permissions on the temporary files used by MIME4J TempFileStorageProvider may lead to information disclosure to other local users. This issue affects Apache James MIME4J version 0.8.8 and prior versions.

We recommend users to upgrade to MIME4j version 0.8.9 or later.
