Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Nodemailer versions 9.1.0 before 10.0.9 mis-parse addresses with a quoted local part followed by an RFC 5322 comment, keeping extra domain-like text that is passed into the SMTP envelope recipient. An attacker who controls the comment content could get a malformed recipient used, though the reporter did not confirm delivery to an unintended party. Upgrade to 10.0.9, the fixed version.
