Database compromise via interpolated authentication username
Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Aug 13, 2026
SQL injection in the Z-Push IMAP backend before 2.7.6 allows remote attackers to alter linked database data through Basic Authentication. The getIdentityFromSql function substitutes the supplied username and domain directly into IMAP_FROM_SQL_QUERY before PDO prepares and executes the resulting SQL. Exposure requires the IMAP backend with SQL-based sender lookup configured; a crafted username can read, modify, or delete linked-database data.
