- Also known as: EUVD-2026-116781, GHSA-3C43-M234-72QW
- Severity: CVSS 9.2 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

CVE-2026-114424 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 9.2 (critical) and affects SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway (SEG); fixed in 15.1.1.

## Summary

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before the fixed release can evaluate attacker-controlled replacement text as Perl code in sender or recipient replacement rules, letting an unauthenticated remote sender run operating-system commands with root privileges in the mail-processing worker. The flaw is reached remotely over the network without logging in, and it only applies when an active rule uses message-derived replacement data and its search condition matches.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- SEPPmail AG SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway (SEG): fixed in 15.1.1

## Description

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before 15.1.1 can evaluate attacker-influenced replacement text as Perl code in sender or recipient replacement rules. An unauthenticated remote sender can execute operating-system commands in the mail-processing worker context when an active rule uses message-derived replacement data and its search condition matches. The validated worker context was root.
