CVE-2026-42507

This might allow an attacker to inject misleading content to errors that are printed or logged.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.37%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When returning errors, functions in the net/textproto package would include its input as part of the error. This might allow an attacker to inject misleading content to errors that are printed or logged.
