Researchers detail WT-2026-0001 in SmarterMail, a pre-authentication admin password-reset bypass that can be triggered by calling a force-reset-password API with IsSysAdmin set to true, enabling admin access without verifying OldPassword and potentially yielding remote code execution via the Volume Mount feature. A PoC shows a JSON payload including IsSysAdmin, Username, and NewPassword. SmarterTools released patch 9511 on Jan 15, 2026 to fix the flaw, but exploitation was observed shortly after the patch, highlighting urgent need to upgrade. The patched flow enforces admin verification and old-password checks, mitigating this bypass; the report also notes the ongoing risk and how attackers monitor patches to exploit high-value targets.
