Security Risks of Known Vulnerabilities
CVE-2026-106454
CWE-1333
Threat level: MEDIUM | CVSS score: 5

wildcardToRegexp() in twisted/mail/imap4.py converts IMAP LIST/LSUB wildcard patterns to Python regular expressions. It substitutes the two IMAP wildcards (* → (?:.?) and % → (?:(?:[^\\/])?)) but passes every other character through unchanged to re.compile(). This means that an authenticated IMAP client can send a quoted pattern string containing arbitrary regex syntax - including catastrophic-backtracking constructs such as (a+)+z.
