ETK-2026-51Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
Nodemailer addressparser can consume excessive CPU when handling specially formed, long address or header strings. An attacker may stall the Node.js process if they can submit data that is passed to address parsing, including inbound mail headers or application-controlled message addresses.
mitigation
Upgrade nodemailer to version 10.0.6 or later. Until upgraded, restrict and length-limit untrusted values passed as email headers or message addresses.
fixed in 10.0.6
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
