Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Nodemailer, an email sending library. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker with control over specific list comment parameters to inject arbitrary message headers into generated email messages. By failing to sanitize carriage return and line feed (CRLF) characters, an attacker can alter mail client behavior and message semantics, potentially leading to email spoofing or other integrity issues.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-31 09:04:00 UTC
Nodemailer before 8.0.9 fails to sanitize carriage return and line feed characters in list comment fields, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary message headers. An attacker with control over list.*.comment parameters can inject CRLF sequences to create additional headers in generated RFC822 messages, altering mail client behavior and message semantics.
