Nodemailer 3.0.0 before 10.4.1 contains an address parsing flaw in addressparser that truncates domains at folding whitespace or comments before a dot, allowing attackers to bypass recipient domain restrictions. Attackers can submit crafted to, cc, bcc or replyTo addresses that pass RFC 5322 domain checks but deliver mail to an attacker-chosen address under the application's sender identity.
