Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information due to the incorrect handling of MIME email messages. An attacker can mislead users about the encryption status of an email by crafting MIME messages that claim to contain an encrypted OpenPGP message but actually contain a signed message.
