- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

CVE-2026-114426 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 8.7 (high) and affects SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway (SEG); fixed in 15.1.1.

## Summary

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway is affected by a flaw in how its v1 file-interface handles uploads: it processes and writes upload data before checking who is calling and without an overall request-size limit. A remote attacker who does not need to log in can tie up workers and temporary storage with many concurrent or slow requests, making the service unavailable.

## Affected

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

## Description

SEPPmail Secure Email Gateway before 15.1.1 processes and writes v1 file-interface upload data before authenticating the caller and without an absolute request-size limit. An unauthenticated remote attacker can occupy workers and consume temporary storage with concurrent or slow requests, causing service unavailability.
