DescriptionCVE.org

In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3, improper HTML/CSS sanitization of the SVG animate "by" attribute may lead to remote image blocking bypass, which in turn may lead to information disclosure or privilege escalation.

AnalysisAI

Remote image blocking bypass in Roundcube Webmail (all versions before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3) allows network-based attackers to defeat content security filters through crafted SVG animate elements, with potential for user metadata disclosure and privilege escalation. The sanitizer's failure to validate the SVG animate by attribute permits malicious email content to trigger outbound resource loads that the webmail's blocking controls were designed to prevent. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must open or preview a malicious email within a Roundcube Webmail instance running any version prior to 1.6.18 or 1.7.3. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.8 score with Scope:Changed (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects that the attack boundary extends beyond the webmail application itself, but the confidentiality impact is rated Limited - primarily user IP address, email-open event, and client fingerprint exposure rather than session or credential compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker authors a malicious HTML email embedding an SVG element whose `animate by` attribute references an attacker-controlled URL, then delivers it to any mailbox served by a vulnerable Roundcube instance. When the victim opens or previews the message, Roundcube's sanitizer passes the attribute through unchecked, causing the webmail client to silently fetch the external resource and disclosing the victim's IP address, read timestamp, and browser fingerprint to the attacker. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.18 (https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.6.18) or 1.7.3 (https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.7.3) as directed by the vendor advisory at https://roundcube.net/news/2026/08/09/security-updates-1.6.18-and-1.7.3; the vendor explicitly marks both as stable and recommends all production installations upgrade with a prior data backup. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
