CVE-2026-1299
Last modified
CVE-2026-1299 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6/10 on the CVSS scale. The email module, specifically the "BytesGenerator" class, didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email is serialized. This is only applicable if using "LiteralHeader" writing headers that don't respect email folding rules, the new behavior will reject the incorrectly folded headers in "BytesGenerator".. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
