CVE-2025-3875

First published: Tue May 13 2025(Updated: )

Thunderbird parses addresses in a way that can allow sender spoofing in case the server allows an invalid From address to be used. For example, if the From header contains an (invalid) value "Spoofed Name spoofed@example.com legitimate@example.com", Thunderbird treats spoofed@example.com as the actual address.
