CVE-2026-23760
SmarterTools SmarterMail Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel Vulnerability
What the flaw is
SmarterTools SmarterMail contains an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability in the password reset API. The force-reset-password endpoint permits anonymous requests and fails to verify the existing password or a reset token when resetting system administrator accounts. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to supply a target administrator username and a new password to reset the account, resulting in full administrative compromise of the SmarterMail instance.

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
This deadline is binding on US federal civilian agencies under BOD 22-01. It is not a legal deadline for anyone else, but it is a useful urgency signal — CISA sets it by how actively the flaw is being used, not by CVSS.
Public exploit code
We hold no public exploit references for this CVE. That means our dataset has none — it is not evidence that no exploit exists. CISA has confirmed this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild regardless.
