Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mutt versions prior to 1.10.1 NeoMutt versions prior to 2018-07-16

Description The issue allows remote IMAP servers to execute arbitrary commands via backquote characters, related to the mailboxes command associated with an automatic subscription. This is due to a lack of proper data sanitization at the management level, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

Recommendations For Mutt versions prior to 1.10.1, update to version 1.10.1 or later to resolve the issue. For NeoMutt 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 mailboxes command associated with automatic subscription until a patch is available.
