CVE-2026-34975 — Plunk is an open-source email platform built on top of AWS SES

High CVSS 8.5

Plunk is an open-source email platform built on top of AWS SES. Prior to 0.8.0, a CRLF header injection vulnerability was discovered in SESService.ts, where user-supplied values for from.name, subject, custom header keys/values, and attachment filenames were interpolated directly into raw MIME messages without sanitization. An authenticated API user could inject arbitrary email headers (e.g. Bcc, Reply-To) by embedding carriage return/line feed characters in these fields, enabling silent email forwarding, reply redirection, or sender spoofing. The fix adds input validation at the schema level to reject any of these fields containing \r or \n characters, consistent with the existing validation already applied to the contentId field. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.0.

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
