Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.13 and 1.6 before 1.6.13, when "Block remote images" is used, does not block SVG feImage.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8223-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail mishandled Punycode xn-- domain names. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a homograph attack. (CVE-2019-15237)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize certain attributes when handling CSS     within HTML messages and certain SVG attributes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a     cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2024-38356, CVE-2024-38357)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly sanitize certain HTML attributes when rendering     e-mail messages. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a cross-site scripting attack.
    (CVE-2024-42008)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly filter certain CSS token sequences within     rendered e-mail messages. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2024-42010)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly treat an SVG tag as an image source within its     HTML sanitizer. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass remote image blocking to track email     open actions or potentially bypass access control. (CVE-2026-25916)

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail did not properly handle comments within Cascading Style Sheets     (CSS). An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a CSS injection attack. (CVE-2026-26079)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20323-1 advisory.

    Package        : roundcube     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-25916 CVE-2026-26079     Debian Bug     : 1127447

    CERT Polska and nullcathedral discovered that roundcube, a skinnable     AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers, did not correctly     process and sanitize requests. This would allow an attacker to perform     CSS injection attacks, or leak sensitive information.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 1.6.5+dfsg-1+deb12u7.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.6.13+dfsg-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages.

    Package        : roundcube     Version        : 1.4.15+dfsg.1-1+deb11u7     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-25916 CVE-2026-26079     Debian Bug     : 1127447

    Vulnerabilities were discovered in Roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based     webmail solution for IMAP servers, which might lead to information     disclosure or privilege escalation.

    CVE-2026-25916

        NULL CATHEDRAL discovered that the HTML sanitizer doesn't treat SVG         `<feImage href=>` as an image source.  This allows attackers to         bypass remote image blocking to track email open action or         potentially bypass access control.

    CVE-2026-26079

        CERT Polska discovered that CSS code in text/html emails were         insufficiently sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious         stylesheet rules.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.4.15+dfsg.1-1+deb11u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your roundcube packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

The remote web server is running Roundcube Webmail version 1.5.x prior to 1.5.13 or 1.6.x prior to 1.6.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) injection vulnerability exists due to mishandling of comments. A remote attacker     could exploit this to inject arbitrary CSS. (CVE-2026-26079)

  - A remote image blocking bypass exists because SVG feImage elements are not blocked when the 'Block remote images'     setting is used. A remote attacker could exploit this to load remote images. (CVE-2026-25916)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.13 and 1.6 before 1.6.13, when Block remote images is used, does not block     SVG feImage. (CVE-2026-25916)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
