CVE-2026-114724: Roundcube Webmail object injection in session unserialization

CVE-2026-114724 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.4 · Published 2026-10-22

Roundcube Webmail is a web-based email client used by organizations and individuals to access email remotely. A flaw in how the application processes session data allows an attacker with the ability to modify stored session information to inject malicious PHP objects, which could lead to remote code execution or data theft. An attacker would need access to the session storage mechanism to exploit this vulnerability.

Technologies: Roundcube Webmail. Vendors: Roundcube.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: Roundcube Webmail 1.6.20, 1.7.5

Technical details

The vulnerability is a PHP object injection primitive in the rcube_session::unserialize() method. Session keys prefixed with "!" are treated as having no value; the reconstructed serialized string is then emitted with a key but no corresponding value, causing the remainder of the input to be desynchronized so that following session data is interpreted as a serialized value. An attacker able to influence stored session data can craft a malicious payload to instantiate arbitrary PHP objects, potentially achieving remote code execution. The fix rejects session keys with the "!" prefix.

Affected products
