Yongxiang Li discovered that PHPMailer was not properly converting relative paths provided as user input when adding attachments to messages, which could lead to relative image URLs being treated as absolute local file paths and added as attachments.

Sehun Oh discovered that PHPMailer was not properly processing untrusted non-local file attachments, which could lead to an object injection. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-19296)

Elar Lang discovered that PHPMailer was not properly escaping file attachment names, which could lead to a misinterpretation of file types by entities processing the message.

It was discovered that PHPMailer was not properly handling callables in its validateAddress function, which could result in untrusted code being called should the global namespace contain a function called 'php'.
