DescriptionCVE.org

Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1 has Pre-authentication SQL injection in the virtuser_query plugin via a preg_replace() backslash escape bypass.

AnalysisAI

Pre-authentication SQL injection in Roundcube Webmail's virtuser_query plugin allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass input sanitization through a preg_replace() backslash escape flaw and inject arbitrary SQL against the backing database. Versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.16 and 1.7.x prior to 1.7.1 are affected. Vendor patches are available, no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.08%), but SSVC rates technical impact as total.

Technical ContextAI

Roundcube Webmail is a widely deployed PHP-based browser webmail client. The virtuser_query plugin maps email addresses to mailbox accounts by issuing SQL queries against a configured database, with input intended to be neutralized via PHP's preg_replace(). The root cause is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): a backslash-escape bypass in the preg_replace() routine permits attacker-controlled input to break out of the intended quoting context, so untrusted address strings reach the SQL statement unsanitized. CPE cpe:2.3:a:roundcube:webmail:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Roundcube Webmail installations regardless of OS or distribution packaging.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.16 or 1.7.1 - vendor-released patches that contain the fix commits 87124cc7136a48b5fa9d2b40dfead6e9dcaeaf4b (1.6.16) and 3406183a9976e36f992d3468f37d0e2346526ee9 (1.7.1), published in the security advisory at https://roundcube.net/news/2026/05/24/security-updates-1.6.16-and-1.7.1 and the release notes at https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.6.16 and https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/tag/1.7.1. Where immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the virtuser_query plugin in config/config.inc.php by removing it from the $config['plugins'] array - this fully removes the vulnerable code path but breaks any virtual-user address-to-mailbox mapping that depends on it, so sites relying on virtuser_query for multi-domain mail routing should use the database-backed virtuser_file alternative or accelerate the upgrade. Additional defense-in-depth includes restricting database user privileges granted to the Roundcube account to only the tables and operations it requires, and placing the webmail behind a WAF tuned to flag SQL metacharacters on login-related endpoints - noting that WAF rules may produce false positives on legitimate addresses containing special characters.
