Security Rating

cPanel has assigned this vulnerability a CVSSv3 score of 4.4 CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Description

The scripts/convert_roundcube_mysql2sqlite script calls out to shell commands via the system() function while in a reduced privileges state. If a user's email virtual name contained special characters, the command would be invoked via the system shell. This would restore root privileges and invoke the command as root. This allowed for an attacker to rename files and/or copy them into a user accessible location.
