Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote user to invoke actions prohibited by the disabled_actions setting.

The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent action-name normalization in Roundcube Webmail's disabled_actions enforcement when evaluating action names containing underscores instead of hyphens. A remote user can replace '-' with '_' in an action name to bypass the restriction and invoke a disabled action.
