Authentication bypass via unvalidated gmaps parameter

Published Dec 23, 2025 · Updated Dec 23, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IceWarp Server 14.2.0.5 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication through the gmaps webpage. The webpage handles a user-supplied parameter without proper validation, allowing arbitrary script injection. Exploitation requires a target user to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file, after which the injected script grants authentication bypass.
