CVE-2026-4873

connection reuse ignores TLS requirement

CVSS 5.9 MEDIUMEPSS 0.3%CWE-319
A vulnerability exists where a connection requiring TLS incorrectly reuses an existing unencrypted connection from the same connection pool. If an initial transfer is made in clear-text (via IMAP, SMTP, or POP3), a subsequent request to that same host bypasses the TLS requirement and instead transmit data unencrypted.
