CVE-2026-47240

Summary of CVE-2026-47240 (Net::IMAP, Ruby) : The vulnerability affects Net::IMAP’s IMAP client in Ruby, where several commands accept a “raw data” argument that is validated but could still be exploited if a server does not support non-synchronizing literals. In that case, a server may interpret...

CVE-2026-47240 Net::IMAP: Command Injection via non-synchronizing literal in "raw" argument

Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality in Ruby. Prior to 0.6.5 and 0.5.15, 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...

CVE-2026-47241

Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality in Ruby. Prior to 0.6.5 and 0.5.15, 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 inpu...

CVE-2026-47241

Net::IMAP in Ruby (affected: before 0.6.5 and 0.5.15) validates CRLF but may send a user-controlled raw string verbatim, allowing a subsequent command to be absorbed as a continuation of the first. This can cause the first command to fail and block further responses until another command is issue...

Ruby net-imap < 0.5.15 / 0.6.x < 0.6.4.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

The version of the net-imap Ruby library installed on the remote host is prior to 0.5.15, or 0.6.x prior to 0.6.4.1. 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...

USN-8431-1 ruby2.3, ruby2.5 vulnerabilities

It was discovered that Ruby's Net::IMAP library did not properly verify that Transport Layer Security TLS encryption was started after issuing a STARTTLS command. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack and silently bypass TLS encryption...

Arbitrary Command Injection

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the handling of raw data arguments in IMAP commands id and enable. An attacker can inject arbitrary IMAP commands by supplying specially crafted input containing CRLF sequences as arguments. This may allo...

Net::IMAP: Command Injection via ID command argument

Summary 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. Please note that passing untrusted inputs to these commands is usually inappropriate and expected to be uncommon. Details Whe...

GHSA-46Q3-7GV7-QMGG Net::IMAP: Command Injection via ID command argument

Summary 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.

Collapse of Data into Unsafe Value

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Collapse of Data into Unsafe Value incomplete validation of raw string arguments in certain IMAP command parameters such as criteria, searchkeys and attr. An attacker can cause commands to hang or trigger timeouts by supplying specially...

Arbitrary Command Injection

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the handling of raw data arguments in IMAP commands such as criteria, searchkeys and attr. An attacker can execute arbitrary IMAP commands by injecting CRLF sequences into user-controlled input, which are...

PT-2026-48342

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Net::IMAP versions prior to 0.5.15 Net::IMAP versions prior to 0.6.5 Description The Net::IMAPid and Net::IMAPenable functions do not properly validate their arguments. When Net::IMAPid is called with a hash argument, it fails to prohibit CRLF...

Net::IMAP: Denial of Service via incomplete raw argument validation

Summary 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. This will...

Net::IMAP: Command Injection via non-synchronizing literal in "raw" argument

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. Details Raw...
