Short explanation

An authorization vulnerability exists in Mailu where domain managers can allow themselves to spoof on other hosted domains they should not control. This flaw enables unauthorized entities to send emails authenticated with DKIM and SPF for unmanaged domains.

Why does it matter?

This security flaw allows a potentially malicious domain administrator to send emails on behalf of other domains they should not access and manipulate authentication mechanisms. Presenting a high impact on integrity, this situation directly threatens organizational communication security.

What should be done?
