Unknown · Roundcube Webmail · CVE-2024-37383
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Roundcube Webmail versions prior to 1.5.7 and 1.6.x prior to 1.6.7
Description:
The issue is related to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Roundcube webmail software, allowing an attacker to execute JavaScript code on the user's page. This vulnerability can be exploited by sending a malicious email to a user, which then executes the malicious code when the email is opened. The vulnerability is caused by improper filtering of SVG tags, specifically the `animate` attributes. It is reported that over 2.7 million services are potentially affected, and there have been real-world incidents where this issue was exploited to steal credentials and compromise emails.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 1.5.7 and 1.6.x prior to 1.6.7, update to version 1.5.7 or 1.6.7 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of SVG elements in emails until a patch is applied.
Restrict access to the vulnerable Roundcube webmail software to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the `animate` attributes in SVG elements in emails until the issue is resolved.
