AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-114727 is a high-severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 8.3 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 passes potentially unsafe content into ImageMagick when resizing images. SVG and EPS were accepted as valid image types for contact photo upload and conversion, and both formats can reference external resources and invoke ImageMagick delegates when processed. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix passing potentally unsafe attachment content into ImageMagick on image resize”, which removes svg and eps from the accepted types.
