This is because the text was interpreted as a MIME message and the first paragraph was always treated as an email header section. A digitally signed text from a different context, such as a signed GIT commit, could be used to spoof an email message. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 115.6. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Windows apps | Mozilla Thunderbird (en-US) | 115.8.0 |
