CVE-2023-5631Roundcube — a drawing in mail that carries script

Roundcube's markup cleaner lets a crafted drawing inside a formatted message through, so script in the message runs when the reader opens it and stays in the mailbox. Fixed in 1.4.15, 1.5.5 and 1.6.4.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Update Roundcube to 1.4.15, 1.5.5 or 1.6.4. Exploit code is public and the message only has to be opened, so an exposed instance is on the clock.
