Mailpit is an email testing tool and API for developers. Prior to version 1.30.1, the fix for GHSA-fpxj-m5q8-fphw (CVE-2026-45710, "Mailpit: Set a default 50MB p/m limit to prevent DoS via unlimited SMTP DATA and /api/v1/send body sizes") wrapped only POST /api/v1/send with http.MaxBytesReader. The four other Mailpit JSON-body API endpoints PUT /api/v1/messages (SetReadStatus), DELETE /api/v1/messages (DeleteMessages), PUT /api/v1/tags (SetMessageTags), and POST /api/v1/message/{id}/release (ReleaseMessage) still call json.NewDecoder(r.Body) directly with no body-size cap and remain reachable unauthenticated in the default docker run axllent/mailpit:latest deploy. An unauthenticated remote attacker can post a multi-million-element IDs slice and drive RSS from ~25 MiB baseline to ~450 MiB per 16 MB request body. Repeating across multiple connections accumulates the same per-request amplification per process. Version 1.30.1 contains a patch.
