Roundcube Webmail through 1.3.9 mishandles Punycode xn-- domain names, leading to homograph attacks.
In Roundcube Webmail before 1.3.10, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker.
steps/mail/func.inc in Roundcube before 1.3.8 has XSS via crafted use of <svg><style>, as demonstrated by an onload attribute in a BODY element, within an HTML attachment.
Roundcube before 1.3.7 mishandles GnuPG MDC integrity-protection warnings, which makes it easier for attackers to obtain sensitive information, a related issue to CVE-2017-17688. This is associated with plugins/enigma/lib/enigma_driver_gnupg.php.
The OpenPGP specification allows a Cipher Feedback Mode (CFB) malleability-gadget attack that can indirectly lead to plaintext exfiltration, aka EFAIL. NOTE: third parties report that this is a problem in applications that mishandle the Modification Detection Code (MDC) feature or accept an obsolete packet type, not a problem in the OpenPGP specification
In Roundcube from versions 1.2.0 to 1.3.5, with the archive plugin enabled and configured, it's possible to exploit the unsanitized, user-controlled "_uid" parameter (in an archive.php _task=mail&_mbox=INBOX&_action=plugin.move2archive request) to perform an MX (IMAP) injection attack by placing an IMAP command after a %0d%0a sequence. NOTE: this is less easily exploitable in 1.3.4 and later because of a Same Origin Policy protection mechanism.
roundcube version 1.3.4 and earlier contains an Insecure Permissions vulnerability in enigma plugin that can result in exfiltration of gpg private key. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity.

steps/utils/modcss.inc in Roundcube Webmail before 0.5.1 does not properly verify that a request is an expected request for an external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) stylesheet, which allows remote authenticated users to trigger arbitrary outbound TCP connections from the server, and possibly obtain sensitive information, via a crafted request.
The login form in Roundcube Webmail before 0.5.1 does not properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended login attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by arranging for a victim to login to the attacker's account and then compose an e-mail message, related to a "login CSRF" issue.
Roundcube 0.3.1 and earlier does not request that the web browser avoid DNS prefetching of domain names contained in e-mail messages, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine the network location of the webmail user by logging DNS requests.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Roundcube Webmail 0.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified users for requests that send arbitrary emails via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4076.
