CVE-2026-82661 (GCVE-0-2026-82661)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-31 08:46 – Updated: 2026-08-31 08:46

Title

Nodemailer CRLF Injection via List-* Header Comments

Summary

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.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
