Credential disclosure via omitted STARTTLS command
Published May 7, 2023 · Updated Jan 29, 2025
Cleartext credential transmission in myMail 14.30 and earlier for iOS allows remote attackers to read passwords over untrusted networks. After establishing a mail-server connection that expects STARTTLS, the client omits the STARTTLS command and sends login details before TLS protects the session. Interception requires visibility into the network path, and servers that reject unencrypted authentication prevent the exposed connection from completing.
