Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NeoMutt versions prior to 2018-07-16

Description An issue exists due to the improper restriction of '/' characters in the newsrc.c component, potentially leading to unsafe interactions with cache pathnames. This could allow a remote attacker to impact the integrity of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2018-07-16, update to a version released after 2018-07-16 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the newsrc.c component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
