GHSA-9J88-VVJ5-VHGR MailKit has STARTTLS Response Injection via unflushed stream buffer that enables SASL mechanism downgrade

Summary A STARTTLS Response Injection vulnerability in MailKit allows a Man-in-the-Middle attacker to inject arbitrary protocol responses across the plaintext-to-TLS trust boundary, enabling SASL authentication mechanism downgrade e.g., forcing PLAIN instead of SCRAM-SHA-256. The internal read...
