{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-92597","details":"Nodemailer versions \u003e= 6.9.16 and \u003c 9.1.0 mis-parse RFC 5322 comments in email addresses: in lib/addressparser, a comment closed immediately before a non-break character causes the tokenizer to concatenate the atoms surrounding the comment instead of treating the comment as folding whitespace that terminates the domain. A recipient address such as user@good-corp.com(x)evil.com is therefore read by Nodemailer as the single domain good-corp.comevil.com (registrable domain comevil.com, which an attacker can register) and used for both the SMTP envelope (RCPT TO) and the emitted To:/From: headers, while a conformant RFC 5322 parser terminates the domain at the comment and reads good-corp.com. An application that validates the recipient domain with a strict RFC 5322 parser (without inspecting parse defects) or a naive prefix/substring allow-list and then hands the raw address to Nodemailer can be induced to deliver mail to a domain the attacker controls. Fixed in 9.1.0.","modified":"2026-09-23T08:47:32.801610737Z","published":"2026-09-16T22:18:30.700Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-92597"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-92597"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-nodemailer","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-nodemailer?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["10.0.0+~8.0.1-1","10.0.10+~8.0.1-1","6.10.0+~6.4.17-1","6.8.0+~6.4.6-1","6.9.13+~6.4.14-1","6.9.15+~6.4.16-1","6.9.16+~6.4.16-1","6.9.4+~6.4.9-1","6.9.4+~6.4.9-2","6.9.4+~6.4.9-3","6.9.4+~6.4.9-4","7.0.10+~7.0.2-1","7.0.12+~7.0.5-1","7.0.5+~7.0.1-1","7.0.6+~7.0.1-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-2","8.0.11+~8.0.1-1","8.0.2+~7.0.11-1","8.0.3+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-2","9.0.0+~8.0.1-1","9.0.3+~8.0.1-1","9.0.5+~8.0.1-1","9.0.6+~8.0.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-92597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-nodemailer","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-nodemailer?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["10.0.0+~8.0.1-1","10.0.10+~8.0.1-1","6.10.0+~6.4.17-1","6.10.0+~6.4.17-1+deb13u1","7.0.10+~7.0.2-1","7.0.12+~7.0.5-1","7.0.5+~7.0.1-1","7.0.6+~7.0.1-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-2","8.0.11+~8.0.1-1","8.0.2+~7.0.11-1","8.0.3+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-2","9.0.0+~8.0.1-1","9.0.3+~8.0.1-1","9.0.5+~8.0.1-1","9.0.6+~8.0.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-92597.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-nodemailer","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-nodemailer?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"10.0.0+~8.0.1-1"}]}],"versions":["6.10.0+~6.4.17-1","7.0.10+~7.0.2-1","7.0.12+~7.0.5-1","7.0.5+~7.0.1-1","7.0.6+~7.0.1-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-1","7.0.9+~7.0.2-2","8.0.11+~8.0.1-1","8.0.2+~7.0.11-1","8.0.3+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-1","8.0.4+~7.0.11-2","9.0.0+~8.0.1-1","9.0.3+~8.0.1-1","9.0.5+~8.0.1-1","9.0.6+~8.0.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-92597.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
