Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers via the URLAUTH process. An attacker can gain unauthorized read access to mailbox contents by forging a valid token using a predictable HMAC-SHA1 key when the victim has never issued an auth URL for a known folder name. This is only exploitable if the victim has not previously generated an auth URL for the targeted mailbox folder.
