Arbitrary email relay via request recipient IDs
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Open mail relay in CMSJunkie J-BusinessDirectory before 6.2.3 allows attackers to send email to arbitrary addresses via crafted requests. The offer and event contact flows use the contact_id_offer and contact_id_event values from the incoming request as the recipient address source instead of resolving the recipient from the server-side offer or event record. Exposure depends on those contact actions being reachable from the site front end; the flaw enables abuse of the application as a mail sender, with no published evidence of code execution or data modification.
