CVE-2026-54649

When a correspondent sends mail to an alias and the operator replies, the mail client can send directly to the correspondent from the private FORWARD_TO inbox address, exposing that address.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

punchin-email is a Cloudflare Email Worker that provides two-way role aliases while relaying mail to a private inbox. Prior to 1.5.0, handleInbound delivers inbound alias mail with message.forward(), which silently drops the added Reply-To header intended to route responses through the relay. When a correspondent sends mail to an alias and the operator replies, the mail client can send directly to the correspondent from the private FORWARD_TO inbox address, exposing that address. The disclosure is limited to the operator's own email address and does not expose third-party data or provide code execution or authentication bypass. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.0.
