Imap

A command injection vulnerability (CVE-NONE) exists in PraisonAI's `praisonaiagents` package (versions <= 1.6.48) where unsanitized LLM-controlled parameters are directly interpolated into IMAP SEARCH commands, allowing attackers to craft malicious prompts to inject arbitrary IMAP commands, leading to unauthorized email exfiltration, deletion, or denial-of-service when email tools are configured.

CVE-2026-42257 is a command injection vulnerability in net-imap that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system.

A user created a self-hosted email threat detection tool, named VerdictMail, employing IMAP IDLE for real-time monitoring and multi-stage enrichment via SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSBL, WHOIS, URLhaus, and VirusTotal, coupled with an LLM for threat assessment.
