Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.44% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Roundcube Webmail 1.6.16, 1.7.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Roundcube Webmail 1.6.16, 1.7.1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

In Roundcube Webmail 1.6.x between 1.6.14 and 1.6.16 and 1.7.x before 1.7.1, remote image blocking was not honored for URLs pointing to local/private destinations, which may lead to information disclosure or privilege escalation via a text/html email message.
