CVE-2018-1294 Information

Description

If a user of Apache Commons Email (typically an application programmer) passes unvalidated input as the so-called \Bounce Address\ and that input contains line-breaks then the email details (recipients contents etc.) might be manipulated. Mitigation: Users should upgrade to Commons-Email 1.5. You can mitigate this vulnerability for older versions of Commons Email by stripping line-breaks from data that will be passed to Email.setBounceAddress(String).
