CVE-2021-3603

Disclosure Date: June 17, 2021
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

PHPMailer 6.4.1 and earlier contain a vulnerability that can result in untrusted code being called (if such code is injected into the host project’s scope by other means). If the \(patternselect parameter to validateAddress() is set to 'php' (the default, defined by PHPMailer::\)validator), and the global namespace contains a function called php, it will be called in preference to the built-in validator of the same name. Mitigated in PHPMailer 6.5.0 by denying the use of simple strings as validator function names.
