Summary

Nodemailer before 8.0.9 fails to sanitize carriage return and line feed characters in list comment fields, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary message headers. An attacker with control over list.*.comment parameters can inject CRLF sequences to create additional headers in generated RFC822 messages, altering mail client behavior and message semantics.
