node-nodemailer — security advisory
Nodemailer before 10.0.2 fails to properly flatten deeply nested arrays in recipient fields such as to, cc, and bcc, allowing attackers to cause stack exhaustion. Attackers can supply a deeply nested JSON recipient array that triggers recursive Array.toString() conversion, exhausting the call stack and terminating the Node.js process.
