CVE-2026-82854
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
Nodemailer before 8.0.4 is vulnerable to SMTP command injection through the unsanitized envelope.size parameter. When an application passes a custom envelope object with a size property containing CRLF characters to sendMail(), the value is concatenated into the SMTP MAIL FROM command (as SIZE=...) without sanitization, allowing injection of arbitrary SMTP commands such as RCPT TO to silently add attacker-controlled recipients.
Risk Assessment
Risk of sending emails to unauthorized recipients, potentially leading to information leakage or server misuse for phishing.
Recommendation
Update Nodemailer to version 8.0.4 or later and ensure the application does not pass attacker-controlled data to the envelope.size parameter.
Other vulnerabilities in Nodemailer
See all- CVE-2026-82853Medium
Nodemailer versions before 8.0.5 contain an SMTP command injection vulnerability in the transport name option used in EHLO/HELO commands. The name parameter is concatenated directly into SMTP commands without sanitizing carriage return and line feed characters, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SMTP commands for email spoofing and phishing attacks.
- CVE-2026-82662Medium
Nodemailer before version 8.0.8 disables TLS certificate verification in lib/fetch/index.js via rejectUnauthorized: false, allowing attackers to intercept OAuth2 token requests. Attackers in a machine-in-the-middle position can capture OAuth client secrets, refresh tokens, and access tokens transmitted over compromised HTTPS connections.
- CVE-2026-82661Medium
Nodemailer before version 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.
- CVE-2026-82660Medium
Nodemailer before version 8.0.9 fails to enforce disableFileAccess and disableUrlAccess options during message normalization in jsonTransport. Attackers can read local files or fetch URLs by supplying path or href values in message content fields, bypassing intended access controls.
- CVE-2026-82659High
nodemailer before 9.0.1 fails to apply disableFileAccess and disableUrlAccess flags to message-level raw option, allowing authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files or perform server-side request forgery by supplying path or href properties. Attackers can exploit this by crafting raw messages with file paths or URLs that bypass the intended sandbox, with fetched content delivered in the outgoing message to attacker-controlled recipients.
- CVE-2024-58379Medium
Nodemailer before version 6.9.9 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability in email parsing when attachDataUrls parameter is set or processing embedded file attachments. Attackers can send specially crafted emails with malicious data URLs or embedded attachments to cause the event loop to hang and deny service.
- GHSA-p6gq-j5cr-w38fHigh
In nodemailer v9.0.0, the message-level `raw` option bypasses `disableFileAccess` and `disableUrlAccess` protections, enabling arbitrary file reads and full SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in the sent message.
- GHSA-wqvq-jvpq-h66fMedium
A vulnerability in Nodemailer allows bypassing the `disableFileAccess` and `disableUrlAccess` options when using `jsonTransport`. While the normal MIME streaming path enforces these restrictions, `jsonTransport` serializes the message in a way that bypasses them, potentially enabling access to local files or external URLs.
- GHSA-268h-hp4c-crq3Medium
A vulnerability in the Nodemailer library allows header injection via the `list.*.comment` field, which is not sanitized for CR (`\r`) and LF (`\n`) characters. An attacker can supply a malicious value in this field, leading to email header spoofing.
- GHSA-r7g4-qg5f-qqm2Medium
Nodemailer disables TLS certificate verification in its internal HTTPS fetch client by setting rejectUnauthorized: false in lib/fetch/index.js. This causes OAuth2 token requests to trust invalid or self-signed HTTPS certificates.
Original NVD description (English source)
Nodemailer before 8.0.4 is vulnerable to SMTP command injection through the unsanitized envelope.size parameter. When an application passes a custom envelope object with a size property containing CRLF characters to sendMail(), the value is concatenated into the SMTP MAIL FROM command (as SIZE=...) without sanitization, allowing injection of arbitrary SMTP commands such as RCPT TO to silently add attacker-controlled recipients. Exploitation requires the application to expose the envelope size to attacker-controlled input, as Nodemailer does not include size in the default auto-constructed envelope.
