CVE-2023-5631 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Roundcube Webmail caused by improper sanitization of malicious SVG content in HTML email messages. The issue is attributed to behavior in program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_washtml.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTML email containing an SVG document with attacker-controlled script payloads, including JavaScript embedded via constructs such as an onerror handler. When the victim views the message in Roundcube, the payload executes in the context of the victim’s authenticated Roundcube web session. The vulnerability affects Roundcube before 1.4.15, 1.5.x before 1.5.5, and 1.6.x before 1.6.4. Reporting indicates exploitation required no interaction beyond opening the malicious email in a browser-based Roundcube session.
