CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe lettre mailer library for Rust, specifically versions 0.10.1 to 0.11.22, contains an inverted-boolean bug in its `boring-tls` integration that disables TLS hostname verification, allowing on-path attackers to intercept SMTP submissions and access sensitive credentials and message contents. Users of lettre utilizing the `boring-tls` feature should prioritize upgrading to version 0.11.22 to mitigate this vulnerability, as it poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of email communications.

Original NVD Description
lettre is a a mailer library for Rust. Starting in version 0.10.1 and prior to version 0.11.22, an inverted-boolean bug in lettre's `boring-tls` integration silently disables TLS hostname verification for callers using the default (strict) configuration. An on-path attacker presenting any chain-valid certificate for any domain can intercept SMTP submission, including PLAIN/LOGIN credentials and message contents, against any lettre user built with the `boring-tls` feature. Other TLS backends (`native-tls`, `rustls`) are unaffected. Version 0.11.22 patches the issue.
