In Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x between 1.6.14 and 1.6.16 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1, remote image blocking was not honored for URLs pointing to local/private destinations, which may lead to information disclosure or privilege escalation via a text/html email message.
AnalysisAI
Remote image blocking bypass in Roundcube Webmail allows unauthenticated network attackers to embed HTML email image tags pointing to local or private network destinations, causing the server to fetch those resources despite the 'block remote images' policy being active. Affected versions are 1.6.14 through 1.6.15 and 1.7.0, with vendor-released patches 1.6.16 and 1.7.1 available since May 2026 per the official advisory. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The vulnerability requires that the Roundcube server perform server-side fetching of image URLs present in HTML email bodies - which occurs during normal HTML email processing in affected versions when the remote image blocking feature is active but the URL validation logic fails to classify local/private addresses as blocked destinations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium) with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, reflecting low attack complexity and no authentication requirement, but bounded confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a crafted HTML email to a Roundcube user with an embedded image tag pointing to an internal address such as http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ (AWS instance metadata) or an internal management console at an RFC 1918 address. When Roundcube processes the email server-side, it fetches the local URL despite remote image blocking being enabled, potentially leaking cloud credentials, internal API responses, or infrastructure details. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is upgrading to Roundcube Webmail 1.7.1 for 1.7.x deployments, or 1.6.16 for 1.6.x deployments, per the vendor security advisory at https://roundcube.net/news/2026/05/24/security-updates-1.6.16-and-1.7.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
