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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify exposed Roundcube login endpoint
Delivery

Exploit
Craft backslash-escape preg_replace bypass payload
Execution
Submit malicious address to trigger SQL injection
Persist
Exfiltrate credential hashes or session data
Impact
Authenticate to mailboxes or pivot into database

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target must be a Roundcube Webmail 1.6.0-1.6.15 or 1.7.0 instance with the virtuser_query plugin enabled in config/config.inc.php (it is not in the default plugin set, so this is a meaningful limiter); the webmail login or address-lookup endpoint must be reachable by the attacker over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals diverge: CVSS 8.1 with AV:N/PR:N/UI:N and C:H/I:H/A:H reflects unauthenticated remote reach and full CIA impact, and SSVC labels technical impact as total - yet AC:H captures that the preg_replace bypass requires crafting a payload that successfully evades the escape logic, EPSS sits at 0.08% (23rd percentile), and SSVC exploitation status is 'none' with automatable 'no'. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker submits a crafted email address containing a backslash sequence designed to evade the preg_replace() escape, targeting the login or virtuser_query lookup endpoint on an internet-facing Roundcube instance configured with the plugin. The malformed input breaks out of the quoted SQL context and executes attacker-controlled SQL - for example, dumping the users table to harvest password hashes for offline cracking or pivoting to mailbox takeover. …
Remediation 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. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Roundcube Webmail instances and identify those running versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.16 or 1.7.x prior to 1.7.1; restrict network access to unpatched systems if immediate patching is not feasible. …
