CVE-2026-42507 is an improper output-neutralization issue in Go's net/textproto package. When affected functions return an error, they include attacker-controlled input in the error text. Applications that print or log those returned errors can record untrusted content as if it were part of a legitimate error message, enabling misleading log or console output.
