Summary

Roundcube Webmail from 1.6.0 before 1.6.20 and from 1.7.0 before 1.7.5 is affected by a mail header injection flaw. The rcmail_sendmail function strips newlines only from the Subject and Organization headers, so header values taken from the References, In-Reply-To, Message-ID and From parameters are not sanitized. A remote authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary headers into an outgoing message, which is tracked as CWE-99.

Description from the CNA

Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by a mail header injection vulnerability. rcmail_sendmail stripped newline characters only from the Subject and Organization headers, leaving other header values taken from request parameters unsanitized, so a remote authenticated attacker could inject arbitrary headers into an outgoing message via the References, In-Reply-To, Message-ID and From parameters. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix mail header injection via References/In-Reply-To/Message-ID/From parameters”, which normalizes whitespace in every string header value.
