CVE-2026-110870
Description
A flaw was found in Nodemailer. A remote attacker can bypass domain allow-lists or cause email delivery failures by submitting specially crafted recipient addresses. Because the address parser fails to properly strip parenthesized comments within formatted email addresses, unvalidated characters are forwarded to mail transfer envelope commands.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
