CVE-2026-92598 PUBLISHED

Nodemailer before 9.1.0 IDN/Punycode Domain Allow-list Bypass

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 16.09.2026 Published: 16.09.2026 Updated: 16.09.2026

Nodemailer before 9.1.0 fails to apply UTS-46 normalization when encoding international domain names, causing the domain resolver to compute a different Punycode A-label than standards-compliant parsers. Attackers can craft recipient addresses with invisible characters or compatibility mappings that pass domain allow-list checks but are delivered to attacker-controlled domains via SMTP.
