First, please don't report security issues on the public tracker. Send an email to security@joomla.org

If your report is about CVE-2020-36326 is likely invalid for Joomla 3.9.26 because only effects 6.1.8 - 6.4.0 - however, Joomla 3 uses PHPMailer 5.x which is unaffected by that issue.

But for further investigation please send the modified file to security@joomla.org

Joomla 4 is not covered by the JSST until it's released never the less we will update phpmailer before next tagged version.
