How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:nodemailer to version 9.1.0 or higher.

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 Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity through the addressparser function in lib/addressparser/index.js. An attacker can block the Node.js event loop by supplying a crafted comma-separated address list, such as a To, Cc, Bcc, From, or Reply-To header value, that forces the parser to spend CPU time proportional to the square of the input size. This stalls email processing and delays or freezes every other request handled by the same process.
