CVE-2026-116738
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-rhj9-fcgr-5r62 ↗EUVD-2026-110486 ↗
description
VMime through 0.9.2 is affected when it processes malformed uuencoded MIME content. An attacker who can cause an application to handle a crafted email may crash the application or potentially run code.
mitigation
Do not rely on a specific upgrade target: the evidence does not identify a fixed version. Reduce exposure by blocking or quarantining uuencoded email content before VMime processes it, and update when a vendor-confirmed fixed release is available.
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
