CVE-2021-44549

Disclosure Date: December 14, 2021
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail provides a simple layer on top of JavaMail/Jakarta Mail for OSGi to send mails via SMTPS. To reduce the risk of “man in the middle” attacks additional server identity checks must be performed when accessing mail servers. For compatibility reasons these additional checks are disabled by default in JavaMail/Jakarta Mail. The SimpleMailService in Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 1.0 lacks an option to enable these checks for the shared mail session. A user could enable these checks nevertheless by accessing the session via the message created by SimpleMessageBuilder and setting the property mail.smtps.ssl.checkserveridentity to true. Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 2.0 adds support for enabling server identity checks and these checks are enabled by default. – https://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/SSLNOTES.txthttps://javaee.github.io/javamail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.htmlhttps://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/mail/issues/429
