NVD-CWE-OtherPublished: March 6, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Enigmail 0.94.2 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents Enigmail from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-1264 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-1264. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
