Summary

Roundcube Webmail from 1.6.0 before 1.6.20 and from 1.7.0 before 1.7.5 is affected. The password plugin shows error text returned by a password driver without HTML escaping, a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). A backend able to influence that error text, such as the DirectAdmin API, can inject script into the Roundcube interface when a user views the message.

Description from the CNA

Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the password plugin. Error text returned by a password driver was concatenated into the message presented to the user without HTML escaping, so a backend able to influence that text, such as the DirectAdmin API, could inject script into the Roundcube interface. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix XSS issue in handling of password driver error responses”, which escapes the driver message before display.
