HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

nodemailer before 10.0.6 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the addressparser free-text fallback regex pattern that exhibits quadratic backtracking behavior. Attackers can supply crafted email header values with long whitespace-free runs to block the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds, causing service unavailability.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause service unavailability by blocking the Node.js event loop, leading to application disruption. Organizations using nodemailer for email sending are exposed to DoS attacks.
