Summary
Axigen Mail Server, a mail platform that handles SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and web interfaces, is affected by this flaw. An unauthenticated attacker can send a single deeply nested SOAP/XML or JSON request to its web listeners, causing the server to crash and take down its mail and web services repeatedly.
Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.
Read the original description
Axigen Mail Server before 10.5.69, 10.6.x before 10.6.40, and 10.7.x before 10.7.2 contains an unauthenticated denial of service vulnerability caused by unbounded nesting depth when parsing SOAP/XML and JSON request bodies before authentication. Attackers can send a single deeply nested request to WebMail, WebAdmin, or WebMail Proxy listeners to exhaust the stack and crash SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and web services repeatedly.

Questions about CVE-2026-119762
What does this mean?
A request sent without authentication can crash the Axigen server process. That interrupts SMTP, IMAP, POP3, WebMail and WebAdmin services, and repeating the request can keep the server unavailable.Source: axigen.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Affected versions are 10.x up to 10.5.68, 10.6.x up to 10.6.39, and 10.7.0 or 10.7.1. Exposure also depends on network access to a WebMail or WebAdmin listener; the WebMail Proxy is affected by the JSON variant starting with 10.6.Source: axigen.com
What should I do about it?
Upgrade to 10.5.69, 10.6.40, or 10.7.2, matching the installed release branch.Source: axigen.com
Is it being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
