steps/utils/save_pref.inc in Roundcube webmail before 0.8.7 and 0.9.x before 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to modify configuration settings via the _session parameter, which can be leveraged to read arbitrary files, conduct SQL injection attacks, and execute arbitrary code.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
