Background

Ingo H3 is a generic frontend for editing Sieve, procmail, maildrop and IMAP filter rules.

Description

Impact

A remote authenticated attacker could craft a malicious rule which could lead to the execution of arbitrary shell commands on the server.

Workaround

Resolution

All Ingo H3 users should upgrade to the latest version:
