CVE-2002-1771
Matt Wright FormMail 1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to send spam or anonymous e-mail by injecting a newline character followed by CC:, BCC:, or additional TO: fields in the email and realname CGI variables.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
