Public on 2024-11-12

Description
In neomutt and mutt, the To and Cc email headers are not validated by cryptographic signing which allows an attacker that intercepts a message to change their value and include himself as a one of the recipients to compromise message confidentiality.

The upstream project considers this a known issue with email signing and Amazon Linux agrees. No fix is planned for Amazon Linux at this time.
