CVE-2023-43770Roundcube — a link in plain text mail that runs script
Roundcube rewrites links found in plain text messages into markup without cleaning them, so a crafted message runs script in the reader's session — cross-site scripting (XSS) that sits in the mailbox until opened. Fixed in 1.4.14, 1.5.4 and 1.6.3.
