AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-114729 is a moderate vulnerability with a CVSS score of 5.3 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 is affected by a remote content blocking bypass. rcube_washtml inspected the SVG SMIL animation attributes `to`, `from` and values for URIs, but not `by`; so markup such as in an HTML message caused remote content to be loaded without the user's consent, disclosing the client IP address and confirming that the message was opened. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix remote-content blocker bypass via SVG SMIL `by` attribute”.
