Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.

Security Fix(es):

/options/mailman in GNU Mailman before 2.1.31 allows Arbitrary Content Injection.(CVE-2020-12108)

GNU Mailman 2.x before 2.1.30 uses the .obj extension for scrubbed application/octet-stream MIME parts. This behavior may contribute to XSS attacks against list-archive visitors, because an HTTP reply from an archive web server may lack a MIME type, and a web browser may perform MIME sniffing, conclude that the MIME type should have been text/html, and execute JavaScript code.(CVE-2020-12137)

GNU Mailman before 2.1.33 allows arbitrary content injection via the Cgi/private.py private archive login page.(CVE-2020-15011)

GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A certain csrf_token value is derived from the admin password, and may be useful in conducting a brute-force attack against that password.(CVE-2021-42096)

Severity

8.8 (High)

Severity

Important

Scope

2 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2021-42097.

CVE-2021-42097

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack can be performed in mailman due to a CSRF token bypass. CSRF tokens are not checked against the right user and a token created by one user can be used by another one to perform a request, effectively bypassing the protection provided by CSRF tokens. A remote attacker with an account on the mailman system can use this flaw to perform a CSRF attack and perform operations on behalf of the victim user.
