The eGain Web Email API 11+ allows spoofed messages because the fromName and message fields (to /system/ws/v11/ss/email) are mishandled, as demonstrated by fromName header injection with a %0a or %0d character. (Also, the message parameter can have initial HTML comment characters.)

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
