Roundcube RCE Vulnerability: When Email Gets a Little Too Interactive!
Roundcube ≤ 1.6.10 is feeling a little under the weather, allowing authenticated users to remotely execute code due to PHP Object Deserialization vulnerabilities. Just when you thought email was safe, this flaw lets attackers send arbitrary commands, proving once again that even your inbox can have bugs!
Hot Take:
Roundcube’s webmail might just have taken its name a bit too literally, rolling its way right into the arms of hackers with an RCE vulnerability. It’s as if someone forgot to lock their mailbox, and now the neighborhood kids are having a field day with the letters! Buckle up, because it’s time to audit that email security before it spirals out of control!
Key Points:
- Roundcube Webmail versions before 1.5.10 and 1.6.x before 1.6.11 are vulnerable.
- Authenticated users can exploit this vulnerability for remote code execution (RCE).
- The vulnerability arises from improper validation of the “_from” parameter in a specific URL.
- This issue can lead to PHP Object Deserialization, allowing arbitrary system commands execution.
- Developers Maksim Rogov and Kirill Firsov are credited for the discovery and disclosure of the exploit.
