Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a low-privileged authenticated account on the target Roundcube instance (confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS vector), sufficient to send or present a contact entry containing a malicious payload. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.4 Medium score is reasonable but understates practical webmail risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privileged Roundcube account sends an email whose sender display name or contact field embeds a crafted XSS payload. When a victim user selects 'Add to address book' for that sender, the unsanitized payload is stored in the address book and executes in the victim's browser on subsequent loads, enabling the attacker to exfiltrate the victim's session cookie and hijack their mail session without any further interaction. …
Remediation Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.18 (stable branch) or 1.7.3 (next branch), both released 2026-08-09 and confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://roundcube.net/news/2026/08/09/security-updates-1.6.18-and-1.7.3. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
