Mailgun: Public Security Disclosure
20 by throwaway2346mg | 2 comments on Hacker News.
TLDR: Inbound email routes don't have SPF/DKIM/DMARC protection, meaning any inbound email sent to a webhook can be trivially spoofed / phished. Mailgun describe inbound routes as: "complex incoming messages are simplified and parsed into all of the data you need with Inbound Routes." [1] Mailgun refers to DKIM/SPF/DMARC with: "Mailgun leads the charge in email authentication by requiring DKIM and SPF records by default before you can begin sending." [2] However, nowhere does it say that Mailgun does not provide SPF or DKIM validation checks on inbound emails. Confusingly, these headers appear only for a subset of inbound emails. Attack scenario: 1) Pick any domain using mailgun for inbound email processing (trivially found via MX records). 2) Spoof an email from any address you want to impersonate (eg. security@mailgun.com). If that address is handled via an inbound route to a webhook (eg. CRM system / other), then it will appear as from the spoofed sender without any DKIM/SPF flags. This makes phishing via Inbound Routes trivial. Requested fix: Include SPF (X-Mailgun-Spf), DKIM (X-Mailgun-Dkim-Check-Result), and Spam Assassin headers (eg. DMARC_QUAR / DMARC_REJECT / DMARC_NONE / DMARC_MISSING) headers for ALL inbound routes to a webhook. The application can then decide what to do. Mailgun Response: "Our security team has confirmed that our routes act as an open relay and that this is not considered a security vulnerability with Mailgun." Nowhere in the Mailgun documentation / sales pages are inbound routes described like this, and in fact, they pretend to have protection as headers are sometimes present! Note A: Using throwaway to not give information away for our own exposed systems. Note B: The spoofed email must not trigger above a certain spam assassin threshold (this is fairly trivial to do and openly testable by any attacker), otherwise it might get blocked by higher level Mailgun spam handling.

I recently spoke with a friend who is not in the tech space and he hadn’t even heard of ChatGPT. He’s a millennial & a white collar worker and smart. I have had conversations with non-tech people about ChatGPT/AI, but not very frequently, which led me to think, are we just in an echo chamber? Not that this would be a bad thing, as we’re all quite aware that AI will play an increasing role in our lives (in & out of the office), but maybe AI mainstream adoption will take longer than we anticipate. What do you think?
