net-imap: Net::IMAP: Arbitrary IMAP command injection via CRLF sequences in unvalidated input

A flaw was found in Net::IMAP before 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4. Several commands accept raw string arguments sent to the server without validation or escaping; if derived from user-controlled input, CRLF sequences allow injection of arbitrary IMAP commands...

net-imap: ruby: Net::IMAP: Information disclosure via man-in-the-middle attack bypassing TLS

A flaw was found in the Ruby net-imap library. When upgrading a cleartext IMAP connection to TLS using the Net::IMAPstarttls method, the library improperly handles certain responses received during STARTTLS negotiation. A man-in-the-middle MITM attacker can inject a predicted tagged OK response...

ruby: net-imap: Net::IMAP: Denial of Service via crafted IMAP responses

A flaw was found in Net::IMAP, a Ruby library implementing the Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality. A hostile server can exploit a quadratic time complexity issue in the Net::IMAP::ResponseReader when processing large responses containing numerous string literals. This can...

ruby/net-imap: ruby: Net::IMAP: IMAP Command Injection via Symbol Arguments

A flaw was found in Net::IMAP, a Ruby library that provides Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. This is achieved by passing specially crafted symbol arguments to IMAP commands. Successful...

ruby/net-imap: ruby: Net::IMAP: IMAP Command Injection via Symbol Arguments

A flaw was found in Net::IMAP, a Ruby library that provides Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. This is achieved by passing specially crafted symbol arguments to IMAP commands. Successful...

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: Denial of Service via incomplete raw argument validation

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...

SUSE CVE-2026-42258

Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality in Ruby. Prior to versions 0.4.24, 0.5.14, and 0.6.4, symbol arguments to commands are vulnerable to a CRLF Injection / IMAP Command injection via Symbol arguments passed to IMAP commands. This issue has been patched ...

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...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Thunderbird

If Thunderbird was configured to use STARTTLS for an IMAP connection, and an attacker injected IMAP server responses before the STARTTLS handshake was completed, then Thunderbird did not ignore the injected data. This could result in Thunderbird displaying incorrect information. For example, the...

CVE-2026-42245

A flaw was found in Net::IMAP, a Ruby library implementing the Internet Message Access Protocol IMAP client functionality. A hostile server can exploit a quadratic time complexity issue in the Net::IMAP::ResponseReader when processing large responses containing numerous string literals. This can...

CVE-2026-35538

An issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.14 and 1.6.14. Unsanitized IMAP SEARCH command arguments could lead to IMAP injection or CSRF bypass during mail search...

CLSA-2026-1774614606 python3: Fix of CVE-2025-15366

CVE-2025-15366: reject control characters in IMAP commands...

cpython: IMAP command injection in user-controlled commands

A flaw was found in the imaplib module in the Python standard library. The imaplib module does not reject control characters, such as newlines, in user-controlled input passed to IMAP commands. This issue allows an attacker to inject additional commands to be executed in the IMAP server...

SUSE CVE-2004-1011

Stack-based buffer overflow in Cyrus IMAP Server 2.2.4 through 2.2.8, with the imapmagicplus option enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long 1 PROXY or 2 LOGIN command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1015...

SUSE CVE-2008-2829

phpimap.c in PHP 5.2.5, 5.2.6, 4.x, and other versions, uses obsolete API calls that allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long IMAP request, which triggers an "rfc822.c legacy routine buffer overflow" error message, related...

DEBIAN-CVE-2021-22947

When curl = 7.20.0 and = 7.78.0 connects to an IMAP or POP3 server to retrieve data using STARTTLS to upgrade to TLS security, the server can respond and send back multiple responses at once that curl caches. curl would then upgrade to TLS but not flush the in-queue of cached responses but instea...

UBUNTU-CVE-2021-39272

Fetchmail before 6.4.22 fails to enforce STARTTLS session encryption in some circumstances, such as a certain situation with IMAP and PREAUTH...

UBUNTU-CVE-2021-38372

In KDE Trojita 0.7, man-in-the-middle attackers can create new folders because untagged responses from an IMAP server are accepted before STARTTLS...

Mozilla: Security downgrade with IMAP STARTTLS leads to information leakage

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: If Thunderbird is configured to use STARTTLS for an IMAP server, and the server sends a PREAUTH response, then Thunderbird will continue with an unencrypted connection, causing email data to be sent without protection...
