CVE-2026-114732 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.8 · Published 2026-10-22

Roundcube Webmail is an email client that runs in web browsers and connects to IMAP mail servers. In multi-host setups where one instance serves multiple IMAP servers, an attacker can log in using an alias email address associated with a user on one server and gain access to the account of a different user on another server. This allows unauthorized access to another user's email.

Technical details

The rcube_user::query() function performs alias lookups against identity records without verifying the IMAP host, causing cross-host account confusion in multi-host Roundcube installations. An attacker can exploit this by logging in with an alias email address belonging to a user on a different IMAP host to hijack that user's account. A fix is available in versions 1.6.20 and 1.7.5.
