Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE command. An attacker can determine the existence of arbitrary mailboxes belonging to other users and trigger Apple Push Notification Service alerts for those mailboxes by sending crafted requests. This allows the attacker to receive "mailbox has changed" notifications to their own device whenever the targeted mailbox is modified, without accessing the mailbox contents.
