Roundcube vs Salesmsg: at a glance
What is Roundcube?
Roundcube patches its Sieve filters and CSRF checks in a sixth paired security release
Roundcube shipped 1.7.6 and 1.6.21 on 9 November, three weeks after 1.7.5 and 1.6.20, again as an identical security pair. This round centres on the managesieve filter plugin (two script-injection paths and destructive actions triggerable cross-site via GET), plus CSRF bypasses, an open redirect, an SSRF bypass via nip.io and sslip.io hostnames and a disabled_actions bypass.
What is Salesmsg?
Salesmsg adds call-back requests and a one-click Emergency Stop for all outbound texts.
Salesmsg's autumn releases added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server, then turned Sherpa AI into an assistant that sends replies and builds broadcasts after approval. The November 12 update moves to calling and safety controls: callers can request a callback instead of holding, Emergency Stop pauses every outbound message at once, inboxes can require call recording, tags can be applied during calls with HubSpot sync, and a weekly recap reports AI agent performance.

Roundcube
5.0COMMS
Roundcube patches its Sieve filters and CSRF checks in a sixth paired security release
◆ Current state
Roundcube shipped 1.7.6 and 1.6.21 on 9 November, three weeks after 1.7.5 and 1.6.20, again as an identical security pair. This round centres on the managesieve filter plugin (two script-injection paths and destructive actions triggerable cross-site via GET), plus CSRF bypasses, an open redirect, an SSRF bypass via nip.io and sslip.io hostnames and a disabled_actions bypass.
◆ Where it's heading
Security releases now arrive every three to five weeks, each with a dozen or more externally reported fixes, and the same research group is behind many of them. The project is in a sustained audit phase, and both branches move together every time.
◆ Prediction
Another paired 1.7.x and 1.6.x security release within about a month is the most likely next entry, given the cadence since June.
Salesmsg
6.3COMMS
Salesmsg adds call-back requests and a one-click Emergency Stop for all outbound texts.
◆ Current state
Salesmsg's autumn releases added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server, then turned Sherpa AI into an assistant that sends replies and builds broadcasts after approval. The November 12 update moves to calling and safety controls: callers can request a callback instead of holding, Emergency Stop pauses every outbound message at once, inboxes can require call recording, tags can be applied during calls with HubSpot sync, and a weekly recap reports AI agent performance.
◆ Where it's heading
With AI now able to send messages, Salesmsg is adding the brakes: an organization-wide stop switch and weekly reports on what its AI agents did. Calling features keep catching up with texting, with queue callbacks and recording rules.
◆ Prediction
Expect more controls over what Sherpa and AI agents may send, such as per-agent limits or approval rules, alongside further HubSpot call-data sync.
