  • 10 npm packages depend on nodemailer (8 direct, 3 indirect)

Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 8.0.9.

DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

CRLF injection in Nodemailer's List-* header construction allows any application-level user with control over list comment parameters to inject arbitrary RFC822 message headers into outbound emails. Versions up to and including 8.0.8 of the npm package are affected; the fix is available in 8.0.9. …
