GHSA-268h-hp4c-crq3: Nodemailer: CRLF injection in Nodemailer List-* header comments allows arbitrary message header injection

June 15, 2026

Nodemailer constructs List-* headers from the caller-provided list message option using internally prepared header values. The list.*.comment field is inserted into those prepared values without removing CR (\r) or LF (\n) characters. Because prepared headers bypass the normal header-value sanitizer and are passed to mimeFuncs.foldLines(), a CRLF sequence in a list comment is emitted as an actual header boundary in the generated RFC822 message.

An application that lets a lower-privileged or unauthenticated user influence list.help.comment, list.unsubscribe.comment, list.subscribe.comment, list.post.comment, list.owner.comment, list.archive.comment, or list.id.comment can therefore be made to generate messages containing attacker-chosen additional headers.
