Description
Uncontrolled eviction in the pending sign-in tables of the REST API in Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.3.4 and 6.3.5 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to make other users' OpenID Connect, SAML and passkey sign-ins fail. The routes that start a single sign-on and hand out a passkey sign-in challenge are reached without authentication and stored pending state in bounded tables that dropped their oldest entry when full, whoever had started it. An attacker who starts sign-ins a few times a second (about a hundred a second for passkeys) pushes every other user's pending sign-in out of the table before that user's browser returns, denying single sign-on and passkey sign-in for as long as the requests continue.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to hMailServer 6.3.6, in which a pending OpenID Connect, SAML or passkey sign-in is no longer held on the server at all but carried by the browser in a cookie sealed with AES-256-GCM under a key held only in memory and good once, so there is no table a flood of unauthenticated starts can fill. Until then: limit the rate of /portal/oidc/start, /portal/saml/start and /api/v1/passkeys/challenge per client at a reverse proxy, and keep password sign-in available for administrators.
