DescriptionCVE.org

In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3, improper rule name quoting could lead to managesieve_disabled_actions setting bypass via a crafted rule name in a Sieve script. This issue only affects Roundcube instances using the managesieve plugin.

AnalysisAI

Sieve script injection in Roundcube Webmail's managesieve plugin allows authenticated users to bypass the administrator-configured managesieve_disabled_actions restriction by embedding unquoted special characters in a filter rule name. Affected branches are 1.6.x before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3; instances without the managesieve plugin are not affected. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege Roundcube user
Delivery
Navigate to managesieve filter rule editor
Exploit
Submit rule name with unquoted Sieve syntax characters
Execution
Plugin embeds payload into generated Sieve script without proper escaping
Persist
ManageSieve server executes injected actions
Impact
Restricted Sieve actions (e.g., redirect, discard) applied to incoming mail

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege Roundcube user account (confirmed by CVSS PR:L) and the target instance must have the managesieve plugin explicitly enabled in its configuration - the vulnerability has no effect on standard Roundcube deployments without the plugin. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) is consistent with the bounded impact: the attack vector is network (AV:N), complexity is low (AC:L), low-privilege authentication is required (PR:L), no user interaction is needed (UI:N), and the scope is unchanged (S:U) with only limited integrity impact (I:L) and no confidentiality or availability loss. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated Roundcube user navigates to the Filters section powered by the managesieve plugin and creates a new filter rule with a crafted name containing unescaped quote characters or other Sieve syntax delimiters. When the plugin generates the Sieve script and submits it to the ManageSieve server, the injected content is interpreted as additional Sieve script commands, causing prohibited actions - such as message redirection or vacation autoresponders restricted by the administrator - to execute on the user's incoming mail. …
Remediation Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.18 (1.6.x branch) or 1.7.3 (1.7.x branch); both tagged releases are available at https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.6.18 and https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.7.3 respectively, and the vendor advisory is 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.
