CVE-2026-21527 is a Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerability in the InterceptorSmtpAgent class caused by improper input validation when parsing and handling SMTP headers. The flaw allows specially crafted header content to be interpreted incorrectly, resulting in a bypass of a security mechanism and enabling user-interface misrepresentation of critical message information. Microsoft classifies the issue as a spoofing vulnerability, while technical reporting also describes it as a security feature bypass rooted in improper SMTP header processing. The issue is remotely exploitable over the network and does not require authentication.
