Lettermint Node.js SDK leaks email properties to unintended recipients when client instance is reused

  • Disclosed: 20.02.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

Email properties (such as to, subject, html, text, and attachments) are not reset between sends when a single client instance is reused across multiple .send() calls. This can cause properties from a previous send to leak into a subsequent one, potentially delivering content or recipient addresses to unintended parties. Applications sending emails to different recipients in sequence — such as transactional flows like password resets or notifications — are affected.

Patches

Yes, the issue has been patched. Users should upgrade to v1.5.1 or later.

Workarounds

If upgrading immediately is not possible, instantiate a new client for each send:

js
const client = new Lettermint({ apiKey: process.env.LETTERMINT_API_KEY });
await client.email.to('...').subject('...').html('...').send();

This ensures no state is carried over between sends.
