Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x < 1.6.16 SQL Injection

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115258

Synopsis

Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x < 1.6.16 SQL Injection

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Roundcube Webmail is 1.6.x prior to 1.6.16 or 1.7.x prior to 1.7.1. Therefore, it may be affected by an unauthenticated SQL injection in the virtuser_query plugin via a preg_replace() backslash escape bypass.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail version 1.6.16 or later.
