CVE-2026-54893: URL path injection in the Microsoft Graph adapter of Swoosh.

URL path injection in the Microsoft Graph adapter of Swoosh.

URL path injection in the Microsoft Graph adapter of Swoosh. Swoosh.Adapters.MsGraph builds its Microsoft Graph API request URL by interpolating the sender's email address into the URL path (/users/{from}/sendMail) without percent-encoding or validation. In applications that derive the from address from untrusted or user-influenced input (for example a relay, a contact form, or a "send as" feature), an attacker can place URL-special characters such as /, ?, or # in the local part of the address to escape the intended path segment and rewrite the path and query string of the request. Because the same authenticated POST is sent with the application's Microsoft Graph bearer token, the attacker can redirect it to other Graph endpoints within the token's scopes and control the request's query string. Applications that always use a fixed, trusted from address are not affected. This issue affects swoosh: from 1.12.0 before 1.26.3.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses swoosh, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.20%, higher than 10% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
