Source agreement

Tam uyum

Evidence confidence

%55

Short explanation

Nodemailer versions contain a quadratic complexity denial of service vulnerability in the SMTP client reply parser within SMTPConnection._onData and isPartialResponse. A malicious SMTP server or on-path attacker can stream continuation lines without a completion line before authentication, blocking the Node.js event loop and exhausting memory.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability allows attackers to lock the Node.js event loop and cause a denial of service via memory exhaustion. S0, S1

What should be done?

  • Monitor vendor advisories
  • Review related SMTP connection configurations
  • Apply updates when available
