CVE-2026-25529 | Postal has HTML injection / XSS in message view

Postal is an open source SMTP server. Postal versions less than 3.3.5 had a HTML injection vulnerability that allowed unescaped data to be included in the admin interface. The primary way for unescaped data to be added is via the API's "send/raw" method. This could allow arbitrary HTML to be injected in to the page which may modify the page in a misleading way or allow for unauthorised javascript to be executed. Fixed in 3.3.5 and higher.

Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.

Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
