Admin-only internal service enumeration via unvalidated SMTP host
Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026
SSRF in Appsmith before 1.99 allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to enumerate internal services through SMTP settings. The send-test-email handler passes attacker-controlled smtpHost and smtpPort values to a raw JavaMail TCP connection without the WebClient IP filter and returns MailException text verbatim. Administrator privileges are required; the returned errors distinguish closed ports from reachable services and can expose service banners.
