    Package        : roundcube
    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, SRF bypass, email header injection, css property
    injection, remote content blocking bypass, information disclosure or
    privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.6.19+dfsg-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages.

    For the detailed security status of roundcube please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/roundcube
