CVE-2026-114731

roundcubemail: roundcubemail: Denial of Service via CSS proxy memory exhaustion

Published Oct 22, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 is affected by an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the CSS proxy (the utils/modcss action). The fetched stylesheet was read into memory in full, with no size limit and no read timeout, so a stylesheet URL referencing an attacker-controlled host could be used to exhaust server memory. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Add a size limit to the CSS proxy content processing”, which caps the response at 5 MB, reads it as a stream and applies a read timeout.
