Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2021-44026

Roundcube Webmail is vulnerable to SQL injection via its search and search_params handling, Critical Severity at CVSS 9.8 with a 43% EPSS score (KEV, 2023-06-22). Webmail SQL injection exposes every stored message and credential hash in the instance, and Roundcube is a favorite target for espionage groups going after government and telecom mail. Self-hosted Roundcube servers, often run by smaller organizations without dedicated security staff, are the exposed population.

Do this: Update Roundcube to a fixed release and examine webmail logs for anomalous search queries indicating injection attempts.
