In versions prior to 2026-03b, no administrator verification takes place when deleting Forwarding Hosts with `/api/v1/delete/fwdhost`. Any authenticated user can call this API. Checks are only applied for edit/add actions, but deletion can still significantly disrupt the mail service. Version 2026-03b fixes the vulnerability.
