Over 84,000 Roundcube instances vulnerable to actively exploited flaw

The flaw, which impacts Roundcube versions 1.1.0 through 1.6.10, spanning over a decade, was patched on June 1, 2025, following its discovery and reporting by security researcher Kirill Firsov.

The bug stems from unsanitized $_GET['_from'] input, enabling PHP object deserialization and session corruption when session keys begin with an exclamation mark.

Shortly after the patch was released, hackers reverse-engineered it to develop a working exploit, which they sold on underground forums.

Though the exploitation of CVE-2025-49113 requires authentication, attackers claim that valid credentials can be obtained via CSRF, log scraping, or brute-forced.
