Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-16651)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of file-based attachment plugins and _task=settings&_action=upload-display&_from=timezone requests. A remote attacker can modify the login form and submit it with valid credentials (username/password) of an email account, send a specially crafted HTTP request and gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the host's filesystem, including configuration files of Roundcube.

Note: the vulnerability is being actively exploited.

Remediation
