How it was found
Hey SemRush, It appears that spoofed email can be sent from 1 of your emails.
The following email is vulnerable:
#Information:
Email spoofing is the forgery of an email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or somewhere other than the actual source. Email spoofing is a tactic used in phishing and spam campaigns because people are more likely to open an email when they think it has been sent by a legitimate source. The goal of email spoofing is to get recipients to open, and possibly even respond to, a solicitation.
#Steps to Reproduce
- Go to https://emkei.cz/.
- Write down [email protected] or any emails stated above to From Email field.
- Write down the test address(where you want to check the spoofed email) to To field.
- An email will be send to your test address from [email protected].
#Proof of Concept Checkout the attached Screenshots.
Email from: [email protected]
PS: As you can see, I used my Yahoo account as victim account and this is terrible to your clients who still using Yahoo (still a lot of them) as their email provider. It's because the email was sent directly to my inbox which is a trusted folder unlike spam so they will think that this spoofed email is legitimate.
Thank you for time and consideration you spent for reading my report.
Regards,
