Summary

Add org.webjars.npm:nodemailer (Maven ecosystem) as an affected package for GHSA-rcmh-qjqh-p98v (CVE-2025-14874).

Details

The vulnerable addressparser code (lib/addressparser/index.js) was internalized into the nodemailer package starting from v3.0.0 (commit 6218b8df, 2017-01-31). The Maven WebJar versions of nodemailer (org.webjars.npm:nodemailer) that are >= 3.0.0 bundle this file inside the JAR under META-INF/resources/webjars/nodemailer/<version>/lib/addressparser/index.js and are therefore affected.

Pre-3.x webjar versions (2.4.2, 2.7.2) are NOT affected because:

  1. The JAR does not contain any addressparser code — verified by extracting the JARs from Maven Central
  2. The transitive npm dependency chain (mailcomposer → buildmail → addressparser) is broken in the Maven ecosystem because buildmail was never published as a webjar (webjars/webjars#1186 documents this class of missing transitive dependency)
  3. WebJars do not bundle node_modules — each npm package is a separate JAR, and npm dependencies are mapped to Maven POM <dependency> entries (source)

Affected Maven WebJar versions on Maven Central: 4.6.5, 6.3.1, 6.10.1 (all contain lib/addressparser/index.js)
Not affected Maven WebJar versions: 2.4.2, 2.7.2 (no addressparser code)

No fixed webjar version exists — 7.0.11 has not been published as a webjar.
