CVE-2026-57495

Summary Two inbound-mail handlers act on a privileged effect without verifying that the sender is the operator, while a sibling handler in the same repo does. The higher-impact one: any external email routed to the bridge inbox causes the dispatcher to resume the operator's Claude Code session with permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions', embedding the attacker-controlled from/subject/preview verbatim into the prompt the resumed agent reads — an indirect prompt injection into a fully-privileged agent (Bash/Write/Edit/WebFetch + the agenticmail MCP toolbelt) running as the operator's OAuth identity. The sibling operator-query email-reply hook gates the same untrusted-From provenance with isOperatorReplySender(replyFrom, config.operatorEmail) (fail-closed); the bridge-wake path — a strictly higher-privilege effect — has no equivalent. Affected code (current HEAD, commit b95f52e) Untrusted provenance: external inbound email enters at packages/api/src/routes/inbound.ts:41 (POST /mail/inbound); the x-inbound-secret authenticates only the relay->API hop, not the external sender, so from/subject/preview are attacker-controlled. Privileged sink (bridge-wake, bypassPermissions): - packages/claudecode/src/dispatcher.ts:2040 handleBridgeMail extracts subject/from/preview (:2045-2049) and calls planBridgeWake({ session, mail: { ..., from, preview } }) (:2052) with NO sender check — routing keys only on session freshness (skip-live / escalate / resume). - planBridgeWake -> packages/core/src/host-bridge.ts:141 composeBridgeWakePrompt embeds the untrusted from/subject/preview (preview sliced to 600 chars at :144) verbatim into the prompt. - packages/claudecode/src/bridge-wake.ts:103 resumeBridgeSession runs the prompt via the Claude Code SDK with permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions' against the operator's last session (resume + same mcpServers). Guarded sibling (same class, authenticated): packages/api/src/routes/inbound.ts:102 rejects an operator-query email reply unless isOperator
