    Package        : roundcube
    Version        : 1.6.5+dfsg-1+deb12u12
    CVE ID         : not yet available
    Debian Bug     : 1146838

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based
    webmail solution for IMAP servers, which could result in cross-site scripting,
    server-side request forgery, information disclosure, email header injection,
    or privilege escalation.

        Zach Hanley discovered that the CSS sanitizer was prone to declaration
        smuggling via un-encoded ampersand emission, which may lead to remote
        image blocking bypass or XSS.

        The CSS sanitizer is prone to property injection via body `background`
        attribute, which may lead to remote image blocking bypass or XSS.

        The sendmail logic is prone to email header injection via bare CR in the
        subject field, C-escape `\r` in the recipient display name, and/or
        identity's organization field.

        The attachment URL is prone to TNEF MIME tag injection, which may lead
        to zero-click stored XSS.

        Joshua Rogers discovered that the text/enriched part content in HTML
        editor was prone to XSS.

        Joshua Rogers discovered that the contact group membership actions
        add/remove were prone to cross-user access.

        The CSS sanitization fixes for CVE-2026-35540, CVE-2026-48843,
        CVE-2026-62643 and CVE-2026-75006 were insufficient, allowing a
        malicious embedded stylesheet in a text/html email to lead to SSRF or
        information disclosure.

        Wahab Khadir discovered that insufficient HTML/CSS sanitization may lead
        to remote image blocking bypass or XSS via CSS escapes in FuncIRI
        attributes.

        Insufficient HTML/CSS sanitization may lead to remote image blocking
        bypass or XSS via SVG SMIL src animation.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.6.5+dfsg-1+deb12u12.

    We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages.
