Roundcube Log Disclosure

What is the "Roundcube Log Disclosure?"

The "Roundcube Log Disclosure" module is designed to detect a specific vulnerability in the Roundcube software. Roundcube is an open-source webmail client that allows users to access their emails through a web interface. This module focuses on the exposure of sensitive log files, which can potentially lead to the disclosure of sensitive information.

This module has a low severity level, indicating that the vulnerability it detects may not have a significant impact on the overall security of the system. However, it is still important to address this vulnerability to prevent any potential data leaks.

The original author of this module is dhiyaneshDk.

Impact

If the Roundcube Log Disclosure vulnerability is present, an attacker may be able to access log files that contain sensitive information. This could include details about email communications, user credentials, or other confidential data. The exposure of such information can lead to privacy breaches and potentially be used for further attacks.

How does the module work?

The "Roundcube Log Disclosure" module works by sending specific HTTP requests to the Roundcube webmail application. It targets two log files: "/roundcube/logs/sendmail" and "/roundcube/logs/errors.log".

When the module sends a GET request to these log files, it looks for specific matching conditions:

- The response body must contain the phrase "IMAP Error:" - The HTTP status code must be 200 (indicating a successful response)

If both conditions are met, the module identifies the presence of the Roundcube Log Disclosure vulnerability.

It is important to note that this module is just one test case within the Vidoc platform, which utilizes multiple modules to perform comprehensive scanning and detection of various vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and software fingerprints.
