there seems do be an security issue in dovecot-imap. Not sure if mailu is affected since there is the front-container. Somebody here who have more information? Since this should be exploitable pre-auth too this might be important.
Just read about it, I will try to confirm if Mailu is directly vulnerable or not really soon. Then we might want to patch and backport at least to 1.6 and 1.7, the schedule depending on exploitability.
It does not seem like Mailu is easily exploitable thanks to the front nginx. There are probably exploitation cases however, once authenticated. I will now see that we update dovecot asap.
Dovecot is now updated in master, 1.7 should get updated with today's backport of Rainloop update. We will close then.
It seems to be upgraded in current image - can this ticket get closed?
bash-5.0# dovecot --version
2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b)
Needs to be checked for 1.6 as well, though it should be OK.
