CWE
- CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
Summary
MyBB is free and open source forum software. Prior to 1.8.40, the Email User controller does not sanitize sender names correctly, resulting in mail header injection. member.php?action=do_emailuser accepts the fromname HTTP parameter for guests or the stored username for authenticated users when the cansendemail group permission is enabled. When mail_handler is set to the default PHP mail value, the sender name is used without sanitization in Return-Path and Reply-To headers, allowing arbitrary headers to be injected with CRLF sequences. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.40.
