Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Response Splitting via the HTTP_HOST value being directly embedded into the Message-ID header during email generation. An attacker can inject arbitrary SMTP headers into outgoing emails by supplying a crafted Host header during actions that trigger email notifications, potentially enabling email spoofing, spam relay, and unauthorized BCC injection.
