Doc Text:
A flaw was found in nodemailer. A remote attacker can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by submitting deeply nested arrays in email recipient fields, such as 'to', 'cc', or 'bcc'. When processed, these inputs trigger excessive recursive conversions that exhaust the application's call stack, causing the Node.js process to crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-26 13:32:18 UTC
Nodemailer before 10.0.2 fails to properly flatten deeply nested arrays in recipient fields such as to, cc, and bcc, allowing attackers to cause stack exhaustion. Attackers can supply a deeply nested JSON recipient array that triggers recursive Array.toString() conversion, exhausting the call stack and terminating the Node.js process.
