SpamAssassin is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). A flaw was found with the way the Spamassassin spamd daemon processes the virtual pop username passed to it. If a site is running spamd with both the --vpopmail and --paranoid flags, it is possible for a remote user with the ability to connect to the spamd daemon to execute arbitrary commands as the user running the spamd daemon.
