CVE-2026-114731 - Roundcube Webmail Uncontrolled Resource Consumption Vulnerability

CVE ID :CVE-2026-114731
Published : Oct. 22, 2026, 3:16 a.m. | 1 hour, 4 minutes ago
Description :Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the CSS proxy (the utils/modcss action). The fetched stylesheet was read into memory in full, with no size limit and no read timeout, so a stylesheet URL referencing an attacker-controlled host could be used to exhaust server memory. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Add a size limit to the CSS proxy content processing”, which caps the response at 5 MB, reads it as a stream and applies a read timeout.
Severity: 5.3 | MEDIUM
