CVE-2024-42009Roundcube Webmail — message body injection steals mail

Roundcube through 1.5.7 and 1.6.7 undoes its own sanitising when it renders a message body, so opening a crafted e-mail runs the sender's script and lets them read and send mail as the victim.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Roundcube to 1.5.8 or 1.6.8 now; review mailbox forwarding rules and sent items for messages nobody in the organisation wrote.
