SCA: security update for github.com/wneessen/go-mail (GHSA-wpwj-69cm-q9c5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435452

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- go-mail is a comprehensive library for sending mails with Go. In versions 0.7.0 and below, due to
incorrect handling of the mail.Address values when a sender- or recipient address is passed to the
corresponding MAIL FROM or RCPT TO commands of the SMTP client, there is a possibility of wrong address
routing or even ESMTP parameter smuggling. For successful exploitation, it is required that the user's
code allows for arbitrary mail address input (i. e. through a web form or similar). If only static mail
addresses are used (i. e. in a config file) and the mail addresses in use do not consist of quoted local
parts, this should not affect users. This issue is fixed in version 0.7.1 (CVE-2025-59937)
