Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PostfixAdmin versions prior to 3.0.2

Description The issue concerns a missing permission check in the AliasHandler component, allowing remote authenticated domain admins to delete protected aliases. This can be achieved by manipulating the delete parameter to the /delete.php API endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.2, update to version 3.0.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /delete.php endpoint for domain admins to minimize the risk of exploitation.
