Mozilla · Thunderbird · CVE-2020-12397
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Thunderbird versions prior to 68.8.0
**Description**
The issue is related to errors in processing Unicode characters in the message header, allowing a remote attacker to spoof the sender's email address displayed by Thunderbird. This is achieved by encoding Unicode whitespace characters within the From email header.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 68.8.0, update to version 68.8.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the display of email headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
