How to fix

Technical details

The rcmail_sendmail::extract_inline_images() function fails to validate the media type extracted from inline image data URIs, allowing CRLF injection into MIME headers. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary headers by crafting a data URI with newlines in the media type field. The fix validates media types using rcube_mime::is_mimetype_valid().
