Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to inject arbitrary SMTP commands.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of CRLF sequences in the transport name option in lib/smtp-connection/index.js when constructing EHLO, HELO, or LHLO commands. A remote privileged user can supply a specially crafted name value containing CRLF sequences to inject arbitrary SMTP commands.

The issue occurs during SMTP connection initialization before the application's intended message commands are processed.
