Roundcube Webmail under fire: critical exploit found after a decade

Pierluigi Paganini June 04, 2025

A critical flaw in Roundcube webmail, undetected for 10 years, allows attackers to take over systems and execute arbitrary code.

A critical flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-49113 (CVSS score of 9.9) has been discovered in the Roundcube webmail software. The vulnerability went unnoticed for over a decade, an attacker can exploit the flaw to take control of affected systems and run malicious code, putting users and organizations at significant risk. Kirill Firsov, founder and CEO of FearsOff, discovered the vulnerability.

“Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.10 and 1.6.x before 1.6.11 allows remote code execution by authenticated users because the _from parameter in a URL is not validated in program/actions/settings/upload.php, leading to PHP Object Deserialization.” reads the advisory published by NIST.

The vulnerability has been addressed in 1.6.11 and 1.5.10 LTS.

Firsov estimates that the flaw impacts over 53 million hosts (and tools like cPanel, Plesk, ISPConfig, DirectAdmin, etc.), he said that details and PoC will be published soon.

Researchers at Positive Technologies announced they have reproduced CVE-2025-49113 in Roundcube. The experts urge users to update to the latest version of Roundcube immediately.

Roundcube is a popular webmail platform and has been repeatedly targeted by advanced threat groups like APT28 and Winter Vivern. In the past, attackers exploited these vulnerabilities to steal login credentials and spy on sensitive communications. These campaigns show how unpatched systems remain a serious risk, especially for high-value targets.
