Misinterpretation of SQL statement text in the database layer of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.0.0-B1 through 6.3.7 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to have a failed database write reported to the server as successful. The layer answers a failed statement as a success when it finds the marker [IGNORE-ERRORS], which is meant only for the server's own schema statements (its upgrade scripts and the database log's tables), and statements carry values from outside - an envelope address, the user name of a failed logon, a message's headers - in their text on MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL, and in the batches of the database log on every engine. Up to 6.2.18 the marker was honoured anywhere in a statement, a value included, on MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL. From 6.2.19 it was honoured only inside a comment, but the layer read a backslash inside a string literal as an escape, which SQL Server, SQL Server Compact and PostgreSQL with standard_conforming_strings on (its default) do not, so that on those engines a value holding a backslash could make the layer take part of the statement's literals for statement text and find the marker there: on PostgreSQL from 6.3.3 for every statement carrying an outside value that holds a backslash, with no setting changed for a message delivered into a local mailbox (through an internationalised (SMTPUTF8) envelope sender) and for the IP range an auto-ban writes (named after the user name of the failed logon), and on SQL Server and SQL Server Compact for the database log, when the server logs to the database (logging is off, and the log device is files, by default). A statement run outside a transaction that then failed - a constraint, a deadlock, a lock or statement timeout, a full disk, and up to 6.2.18 a lost connection - was answered as a success, and its caller went on as if the row had been written: a message delivered into a local mailbox could be counted as delivered with no row to show it and no failure notice to its sender, and a message accepted with 250 could be left with no queue row and never delivered (up to 6.2.18, and on PostgreSQL from 6.3.3 when every recipient's address carries the marker too, which needs an address that takes any local part); an auto-ban whose IP range was not written could be logged and counted as applied, with no error reported, while the address stayed unbanned; and message metadata (written only when message indexing is on), entries of the database log and rows of features an administrator turns on could be lost without an error. On MySQL/MariaDB up to 6.2.18 the caller was handed whatever identifier the client library still held for the connection - 0, or that of an insert its last successful statement made, in whatever table - under which a queued message's recipients were then written, so that another message still in the queue could be delivered to them as well. This flaw gives a value no way to change what a statement does, and no privilege is gained.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed its CVE.org record (CNA or CISA ADP). An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). "EchelonGraph re-scored" is our own recompute of this CVE's score, not an update from a source, and is not counted in the refreshes above. Most recent first.
