SCA: security update for eml_parser (GHSA-g47v-rwmh-r9f8)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441578
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- eml_parser serves as a python module for parsing eml files and returning various information found in the
e-mail as well as computed information. Prior to 3.0.1, EmlParser.get_raw_body_text() recurses
unconditionally for every nested message/rfc822 attachment without any depth limit. An attacker who can
supply a badly crafted EML file with approximately 120 nested message/rfc822 parts triggers an unhandled
RecursionError and aborts parsing of the message. A 12 KB EML file is enough to crash a worker. Though
this causes the parser to crash, it is an unlikely scenario as the suggested EML that crashes the parser
would not pass basic RFC compliance tests. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.1. (CVE-2026-44844)
Solution
Update the eml_parser library and its related packages to version 3.0.1 or later.See Also
