Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 03:46 – Updated: 2025-04-20 03:50

Details

An issue was discovered in Enigmail before 1.9.9. Signature spoofing is possible because the UI does not properly distinguish between an attachment signature, and a signature that applies to the entire containing message, aka TBE-01-021. This is demonstrated by an e-mail message with an attachment that is a signed e-mail message in message/rfc822 format.

Severity

7.5 (High)
