1.
A Python PoC for CVE-2026-24031, a Dovecot SQL passdb injection allowing authentication bypass and user enumeration when auth_username_chars is emptied; validated on Dovecot 2.4.0 with PostgreSQL.
Why it matters: The public PoC demonstrates that the vulnerable configuration can turn a mail authentication query into unauthenticated remote account takeover and user enumeration. Restore a safe auth_username_chars value and upgrade to Dovecot 2.4.3 or OX Dovecot Pro 3.1.4 or later.
