CVE-2026-110869 · Nodemailer 3.0.0 before 10.0.13 ReDoS via SMTP AUTH Mechanism Detection Regexes

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

Nodemailer 3.0.0 before 10.0.13 has a regular expression denial of service in SMTPConnection._actionEHLO, whose four AUTH mechanism detection regexes contain overlapping whitespace sub-patterns that backtrack quadratically. A malicious or man-in-the-middle SMTP server can reply to EHLO with 250-AUTH, a long whitespace run and a non-matching token, blocking the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds to hours before authentication.
