Overview

org.webjars.npm:nodemailer is an Easy as cake e-mail sending from your Node.js applications

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict via RFC 5322 comment mis-parsing in lib/addressparser/index.js. An attacker can make mail be delivered to an attacker-controlled domain by supplying a recipient such as user@good-corp.com(x)evil.com, which the parser glues into good-corp.comevil.com instead of treating the comment as folding whitespace. Applications that approve recipients by parsing or matching the domain separately can be tricked into sending mail to a domain they never intended to allow, exposing messages to the attacker-controlled recipient.
