AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-114717 is a moderate vulnerability with a CVSS score of 4.0 affecting the target software. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.
Description
Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by a mail header injection vulnerability when a message is forwarded as an attachment. The subject of the forwarded message was used verbatim to generate the attachment name, so a received message whose subject contains CRLF sequences could inject arbitrary MIME part headers into the outgoing message. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix mail header injection via subject of a message forwarded as attachment”, which collapses whitespace in the generated name.
