Vulnerability in symfony/mime (CVE-2026-45067)
Summary
Vulnerability in symfony/mime (CVE-2026-45067). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via SmtpTransport. Mitigation: upgrade to 8.0.12 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Description
Symfony\Component\Mime\Address is the value-object every Symfony Mailer address (to/cc/bcc/from/reply-to) flows through; its constructor is documented as validating the address and throwing on invalid input, so developers treat it as a security boundary.
The constructor accepts email addresses whose local-part (the part before @) is an RFC-5322 quoted string containing raw \r\n bytes — e.g. "x\r\nBcc: attacker@evil"@example.com. The stored address is later emitted verbatim into (1) the rendered message headers and (2) SmtpTransport's MAIL FROM:<...> / RCPT TO:<...> protocol lines, turning the embedded CRLF into a new mail header and/or a new SMTP command.
Resolution
The Address constructor now rejects addresses containing line breaks.
The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
