Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Matt Wright FormMail versions 1.9 and earlier

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the HTTP REFERER check, enabling them to conduct unauthorized activities. This can be achieved through various methods, including using a blank referer, spoofing a referer with a trusted domain/URL after the beginning of the referer, or spoofing a referer with a trusted domain/URL in the beginning (hostname) portion of the referer.

Recommendations: For Matt Wright FormMail versions 1.9 and earlier, consider implementing additional validation and security checks for the HTTP REFERER to prevent spoofing and unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive areas of the application that rely on the HTTP REFERER check until a more robust solution is implemented.
