In Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.10, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8132-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize

    certain HTML elements within the e-mail body. An attacker could possibly

    use this issue to cause a cross-site scripting attack. This issue was only

    addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-4068, CVE-2016-4069)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly handle certain

    configuration parameters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to

    execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

    (CVE-2016-9920)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize CSS styles

    within SVG documents. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

    a cross-site scripting attack. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-6820)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly restrict exec call in

    certain drivers of the password plugin. An authenticated user could possibly

    use this issue to perform arbitrary password resets. This issue was only addressed in

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-8114)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly set file permissions within

    the Enigma plugin. An attacker could possibly use this issue to exfiltrate GPG private

    keys via network connectivity. (CVE-2018-1000071)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly handle GnuPG MDC

    integrity-protection warnings. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain

    sensitive information from encrypted communications. (CVE-2018-19205)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize <svg> and <style> tags within HTML     attachments. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a

    cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2018-19206)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly handle partially encrypted multipart messages.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

    leaking of the plaintext of encrypted messages via an email reply. (CVE-2019-10740)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize a certain parameter

    within the archive plugin. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform an

    IMAP injection attack. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-9846)

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.10, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap
    them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using
    HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the
    intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the
    plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker. (CVE-2019-10740)

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:10148-1 advisory.

  - In Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.10, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap     them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using     HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the     intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the     plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker. (CVE-2019-10740)

  - rcube_image.php in Roundcube Webmail before 1.4.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell     metacharacters in a configuration setting for im_convert_path or im_identify_path. (CVE-2020-12641)

  - Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.15 and 1.4.8 allows stored XSS in HTML messages during message display via a     crafted SVG document. This issue has been fixed in 1.4.8 and 1.3.15. (CVE-2020-16145)

  - An XSS issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.2.13, 1.3.x before 1.3.16, and 1.4.x before     1.4.10. The attacker can send a plain text e-mail message, with JavaScript in a link reference element     that is mishandled by linkref_addindex in rcube_string_replacer.php. (CVE-2020-35730)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
