See how roundcube compares to other vendors in security performance
Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.10 and 1.6.x before 1.6.11 allows remote code execution by authenticated users because the from parameter in a URL is not validated in program/actions/settings/upload.php, leading to PHP Object Deserialization.
In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.17 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2, insufficient Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) sanitization in HTML e-mail messages may lead to SSRF or Information Disclosure, e.g., if stylesheet links point to local network hosts. NOTE: this issue exists because of insufficient fixes for CVE-2026-35540 and CVE-2026-48843.
In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.17 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2, there is Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via a crafted plain-text email message. The attacker-controlled JavaScript executes within the victim's authenticated session simply by opening or previewing the message (zero-click).
html2text.php in Chuggnutt HTML to Text Converter, as used in PHPMailer before 5.2.10, RoundCube Webmail (roundcubemail) 0.2-1.alpha and 0.2-3.beta, Mahara, and AtMail Open 1.03, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted input that is processed by the pregreplace function with the eval switch.
Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.7 and 1.6.x before 1.6.7 on Windows allows command injection via imconvertpath and imidentifypath. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-12641.
In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.17 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2, the password plugin of the Roundcube Webmail was subject to username spoofing via session data, which could lead to account takeover.
Roundcube Webmail before 1.4.4 allows attackers to include local files and execute code via directory traversal in a plugin name to rcubepluginapi.php.
Roundcube before 1.3.17 and 1.4.x before 1.4.12 is prone to a potential SQL injection via search or searchparams.
rcubeimage.php in Roundcube Webmail before 1.4.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in a configuration setting for imconvertpath or imidentifypath.
A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Roundcube through 1.5.7 and 1.6.x through 1.6.7 allows a remote attacker to steal and send emails of a victim via a crafted e-mail message that abuses a Desanitization issue in messagebody() in program/actions/mail/show.php.
A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in rcmailactionmailget->run() in Roundcube through 1.5.7 and 1.6.x through 1.6.7 allows a remote attacker to steal and send emails of a victim via a malicious e-mail attachment served with a dangerous Content-Type header.
In Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3, the cmdlearn driver of the markasjunk plugin is subject to remote code execution via crafted placeholder replacement values. This issue only affects Roundcube instances using the markasjunk plugin with its cmdlearn driver.
In Roundcube from versions 1.2.0 to 1.3.5, with the archive plugin enabled and configured, it's possible to exploit the unsanitized, user-controlled "uid" parameter (in an archive.php task=mail&mbox=INBOX&action=plugin.move2archive request) to perform an MX (IMAP) injection attack by placing an IMAP command after a %0d%0a sequence. NOTE: this is less easily exploitable in 1.3.4 and later because of a Same Origin Policy protection mechanism.
Roundcube Webmail allows arbitrary password resets by authenticated users. This affects versions before 1.0.11, 1.1.x before 1.1.9, and 1.2.x before 1.2.5. The problem is caused by an improperly restricted exec call in the virtualmin and sasl drivers of the password plugin.
Multiple buffer overflows in the DBMail driver in the Password plugin in Roundcube before 1.1.0 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via the (1) password or (2) username.
The DBMail driver in the Password plugin in Roundcube before 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the password.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Roundcube Webmail before 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that download attachments and cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via unspecified vectors.
An issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.15 and 1.6.15. The remote image blocking feature can be bypassed via SVG content in an e-mail message. This may lead to information disclosure or access-control bypass. This involves the animate element with attributeName=fill/filter/stroke.
Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1 has Pre-authentication SQL injection in the virtuserquery plugin via a pregreplace() backslash escape bypass.
RoundCube Webmail (roundcubemail) before 0.2-beta allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted size parameters that are used to create a large quota image.

modcssstyles in Roundcube through 1.5.7 and 1.6.x through 1.6.7 insufficiently filters Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences in rendered e-mail messages, allowing a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.12 and 1.6 before 1.6.12 is prone to a information disclosure vulnerability in the HTML style sanitizer.
An issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.14 and 1.6.14. Unsafe deserialization in the redis/memcache session handler may lead to arbitrary file write operations by unauthenticated attackers via crafted session data.
Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1 has insecure code evaluation logic in LDAP the autovalues option that could lead to code injection. (Support for code evaluation has been removed in 1.6.16 and 1.7.1.)
steps/utils/savepref.inc in Roundcube webmail before 0.8.7 and 0.9.x before 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to modify configuration settings via the session parameter, which can be leveraged to read arbitrary files, conduct SQL injection attacks, and execute arbitrary code.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the setskin function in program/include/rcmailoutputhtml.php in Roundcube before 1.0.8 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4 allows remote authenticated users with certain permissions to read arbitrary files or possibly execute arbitrary code via a .. (dot dot) in the skin parameter to index.php.
Roundcube before 1.3.7 mishandles GnuPG MDC integrity-protection warnings, which makes it easier for attackers to obtain sensitive information, a related issue to CVE-2017-17688. This is associated with plugins/enigma/lib/enigmadrivergnupg.php.
roundcube version 1.3.4 and earlier contains an Insecure Permissions vulnerability in enigma plugin that can result in exfiltration of gpg private key. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity.
Roundcube Webmail 1.1.x before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading files in the (1) config, (2) temp, or (3) logs directory.
