CVE-2025-3875
What it is
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 ", Thunderbird treats [email protected] as the actual address. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 128.10.1 and Thunderbird 138.0.1.
