It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Several Net::IMAP commands accept a raw data argument that is sent verbatim after validation to prevent command
    injection. However, if a server does not support non-synchronizing literals, it may still be possible to inject
    arbitrary IMAP commands inside non-synchronizing literals. (CVE-2026-47240)

  - Several Net::IMAP commands accept a raw string argument which is only validated to prevent CRLF injection and
    then sent verbatim. If this string is derived from user-controlled input, an attacker can force the next command
    to be absorbed as a continuation of the first command, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2026-47241)

  - Two Net::IMAP commands, id and enable, do not validate their arguments. Arguments to either command could be
    used by an attacker to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. (CVE-2026-47242)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
