== Recommended Secure Coding Practices
* Use an email library which sanitizes headers (java.mail >= 1.5.6).
* Use html escape functions to sanitize every piece of data used to in the email body.
* Verify application logic to make sure that email base feature can not be abuse to:
** Send arbitrary email for spamming or fishing
** Disclose sensitive email content
== Sensitive Code Example
----
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
public class Main {
public static void sendEmail (Session session, String subject) throws MessagingException{
Message message = new MimeMessage(session); // Sensitive
// For example the setSubject method is vulnerable to Header injection before
// version 1.5.6 of javamail
message.setSubject(subject);
// ...
}
}
