Roundcube before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.4, and 1.6.x before 1.6.3 allows XSS via text/plain e-mail messages with crafted links because of program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_string_replacer.php behavior.

According to its self-reported version number, Roundcube Webmail is prior to 1.4.14 or 1.5.x prior to 1.5.4 or 1.6.x prior to 1.6.3. Therefore, it may be affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via text/plain e-mail messages with crafted links.

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6654-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Roundcube Webmail incorrectly sanitized characters in the linkrefs text messages.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. (CVE-2023-43770)
