CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The eml_parser module, prior to version 3.0.2, has a vulnerability in its clean_found_uri function that improperly validates URL strings, potentially omitting valid encoded URLs from extraction. This flaw can lead to email security gateways and SOC pipelines failing to identify and submit malicious links for inspection, allowing threats to bypass detection. Organizations relying on eml_parser for email processing and threat intelligence should prioritize upgrading to version 3.0.2 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

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 3.0.2, the clean_found_uri function in eml_parser/parser.py validates potential URL strings before unescaping HTML entities used for colon, slash, or period characters. Valid encoded URLs and their host names are therefore rejected and omitted from the extracted URL and domain lists. Email security gateways and SOC pipelines that use those lists as indicators of compromise may fail to submit the hidden URLs to threat intelligence feeds, reputation services, or sandboxes, allowing malicious links to bypass inspection. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.2.
