Improper link resolution in the Windows installer of Progressive Robot hMailServer 6.0.0 through 6.3.7 allows a local authenticated user to run code as the mail server's service account or as an administrator when the path to the program folder passes through a junction, a symbolic link or a mount point that the user controls or that every user may change, such as a junction made at the root of a drive, which takes the root's permissions, or through a folder that every user may rename. Setup installed the programs through any such link without first checking who controls it, or whether a folder above the program folder may be renamed, and the service is registered to run the programs by that path, so the programs are installed where a link another account controls leads, or that account can later make the path lead to a folder it controls; the service, which runs as LocalSystem or as its virtual account, and the programs administrators run from Bin are then started from there. 6.3.7's fix for CVE-2026-107571 does not cover this: its hardening of the program folder, Bin and ControlPanel does not change a folder reached through a link that the administrators do not alone control, and setup does not refuse such a path: it installs through the link and at most reports afterwards that the folders could not be hardened. The default installation under Program Files is not affected.
