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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-93"],"references":["https://github.com/mybb/mybb/commit/5046c56b515d4593297a4f65b0c6ccb0b55baa01","https://github.com/mybb/mybb/releases/tag/mybb_1840","https://github.com/mybb/mybb/security/advisories/GHSA-f626-53q9-pqm9","https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.40"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-45125","score":0.00412,"percentile":0.35455,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
