    CVE-2019-9148

    Published: 9 Jul 2019Last Modified: 8 Jul 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Mailvelope prior to 3.3.0 accepts or operates with invalid PGP public keys: Mailvelope allows importing keys that contain users without a valid self-certification. Keys that are obviously invalid are not rejected during import. An attacker that is able to get a victim to import a manipulated key could claim to have signed a message that originates from another person.
