AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
CRLF injection yields integrity-only impact (I:H, C:N/A:N); AC:H because exploitation requires an app to relay untrusted input into the SMTP command-name field.

Netty netty-codec-smtp - SMTP command-name field is not CRLF-validated (incomplete fix of CVE-2025-59419)
AnalysisAI
SMTP command injection in Netty's netty-codec-smtp allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SMTP commands via CRLF sequences in the command-name field, affecting applications built on Netty such as Red Hat Build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4, Red Hat Fuse 7, JBoss EAP 7, and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-59419, requiring attacker-controlled input to reach the SMTP command name and a downstream SMTP server that acts on smuggled commands; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an application built on Netty's netty-codec-smtp that constructs SMTP commands where the command-name field is populated from attacker-influenced input; because that field is not neutralized for CR/LF, embedded `\r\n` sequences inject additional SMTP commands. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine integrity flaw, not the information-disclosure issue its tag implies. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all deployments of Red Hat Build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4, Red Hat Fuse 7, JBoss EAP 7, and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7, and identify any that use Netty's netty-codec-smtp for SMTP communications; within 7 days, implement interim mitigations such as strict input validation to block CRLF sequences in SMTP command names, configure downstream SMTP servers to reject malformed commands, and enable monitoring for anomalous SMTP traffic; within 30 days, continue monitoring vendor advisories for a patched version of Netty and the affected Red Hat products, and develop a remediation plan to upgrade once patches are released.
