| CVE | Summary | Severity | Published |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-116606 | An authentication bypass in Barracuda Email Security Gateway versions earlier than 9.4.0.030 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to invoke a configuration-import function and restore a crafted, compatible backup archive, resulting in unauthorized modification of the appliance’s global configuration. | Critical 9.3 | 2 Nov 2026 |
| CVE-2026-111560 | Improper neutralization of shell metacharacters in the timezone configuration field in certain Barracuda appliance products using common Barracuda code allows an authenticated administrator to inject OS commands that execute with root privileges when the crafted timezone value is subsequently processed. | High 8.6 | 2 Nov 2026 |
| CVE-2025-34395 | Barracuda Service Center, as implemented in the RMM solution, in versions prior to 2025.1.1, exposes a .NET Remoting service in which an unauthenticated attacker can invoke a method vulnerable to path traversal to read arbitrary files.

Reports of this type are appreciated - but may be marked as 'Not Applicable' and will not be eligible for monetary compensation. Active testing on all out-of-scope targets is expressly prohibited. The following bug classes will be considered for monetary rewards Unauthenticated bugs that lead to code execution or authentication bypass. Datapath bugs that lead to code execution. Unauthenticated disclosure of highly sensitive information. Note regarding product deficiencies The program relates to security vulnerabilities in the products. Deficiencies in product functionality are excluded and will be marked as Not Applicable. This includes but is not limited to: Bypasses for the default set of signatures in the Barracuda Web Application Firewall - for example, bypasses for XSS or SQL Injection protection Bypasses for content filtering as applied to email or web filtering Inaccuracies in content categorization for web filtering Bypasses for anti-virus in email or web filtering Note from our legal team This program is not open to minors, individuals on sanctions lists or individuals in countries on sanctions lists.
