CVE-2026-23760

9.3 criticalKEVEPSS 96%

Critical (9.3) in SmarterTools SmarterMail. In CISA KEV since 2026-01-26, with known ransomware use. EPSS 96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

SmarterTools SmarterMail versions prior to build 9511 contain an authentication bypass 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. An unauthenticated attacker can supply a target administrator username and a new password to reset the account, resulting in full administrative compromise of the SmarterMail instance. NOTE: SmarterMail system administrator privileges grant the ability to execute operating system commands via built-in management functionality, effectively providing administrative (SYSTEM or root) access on the underlying host.
