CVE-2017-5930

28
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-5930 describes a missing permission check in the AliasHandler component of PostfixAdmin before version 3.0.2, allowing remote authenticated domain administrators to delete protected aliases. This vulnerability affects various PostfixAdmin installations, including those within openSUSE Leap distributions. The CVSS score of 2.7 (Low) indicates a low severity, as it requires high privileges (PR:H) and has no confidentiality or availability impact (C:N/A:N), though it does impact integrity (I:L). While not actively exploited in the wild (KEV: No), a Metasploit module exists for this vulnerability, and despite a high FAUCET Risk Score, it has garnered minimal community discussion or media coverage.
