MimeKit is a C# library which may be used for the creation and parsing of messages using the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME), as defined by numerous IETF specifications. Prior to version 4.15.1, a CRLF injection vulnerability in MimeKit allows an attacker to embed \r\n into the SMTP envelope address local-part (when the local-part is a quoted-string). This is non-compliant with RFC 5321 and can result in SMTP command injection (e.g., injecting additional RCPT TO / DATA / RSET commands) and/or mail header injection, depending on how the application uses MailKit/MimeKit to construct and send messages. The issue becomes exploitable when the attacker can influence a MailboxAddress (MAIL FROM / RCPT TO) value that is later serialized to an SMTP session. RFC 5321 explicitly defines the SMTP mailbox local-part grammar and does not permit CR (13) or LF (10) inside Quoted-string (qtextSMTP and quoted-pairSMTP ranges exclude control characters). SMTP commands are terminated by , making CRLF injection in command arguments particularly dangerous. This issue has been patched in version 4.15.1.
CVE-2026-30227
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
