CISA KEV Advisory
RoundCube Webmail Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability
RoundCube Webmail contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability via the animate tag in an SVG document.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
This cross-site scripting vulnerability in RoundCube Webmail, found in the animate tag of SVG documents, could allow client-side script injection. Despite a medium severity, its inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog and an EPSS score of 0.06893 indicate active exploitation, making it an urgent concern.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. It is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.
Update RoundCube Webmail to the latest version to mitigate this cross-site scripting vulnerability. Users should also exercise caution when opening untrusted SVG documents.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-68461 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
CISA has added CVE-2025-68461 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
