Hello,
This is most likely because the scanner considers recipients[i] to contain potentially untrusted data, and could include CR and LF characters which might allow an attacker to inject arbitrary SMTP headers into the email. Consider using a suitable cleansing function from this list of cleansers: https://docs.veracode.com/r/Supported_Java_Cleansing_Functions, as demonstrated below (assuming the code is Java):
```
HtmlEmail htmlEmail = null;
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
htmlEmail.addTo(org.owasp.encoder.Encode.forJava(recipients[i].trim())); //here it is showing error
}
```
