The IceWarp Mail Server is a popular email platform used by businesses and organizations for their internal communication needs. It provides features such as email, contacts, calendars, and instant messaging, all in one platform. Organizations use this server to manage their email services in a secure and reliable way, ensuring smooth communication among team members.

However, the IceWarp Mail Server is not immune to vulnerabilities, as was discovered with the CVE-2020-8512.

This vulnerability can be used to inject malicious scripts or templates into pages within the platform itself or further down notifications and links sent via email to the users.
