In order to find out whether one of your users has vulnerable preferences, you can run the following query on the Roundcube user database:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE preferences LIKE ‘%generic_message_footer%’

If this returns any results, you should block that user because he or she most likely tried to exploit your system.

And here’s some background about the vulnerability from the mailing list archive.
