Description
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Classic Web Client of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an attacker to inject JavaScript through the packages parameter of the /h/rest document editor. The editor inserts package names into script attributes without HTML encoding. When combined with CVE-2026-50053, an attacker with an ordinary Zimbra account can supply their own authentication token and document identifiers in a URL and execute JavaScript in another signed-in user's Zimbra browser session when that user opens the URL. This permits reading mailbox data and performing authenticated actions as the victim. The issue affects ZCS 10.1.16 and was remediated in 10.1.17.

Impact

A reflected cross‑site scripting flaw (CWE‑79) exists in the Classic Web Client of Zimbra Collaboration Suite. The flaw resides in the document editor’s packages parameter, where the system inserts package names into script attributes without proper HTML encoding, allowing injected JavaScript. When combined with an earlier credential‑reuse vulnerability (CVE‑2026‑50053), an attacker can craft a URL containing a legitimate authentication token and document identifiers. If a victim opens that URL, the malicious script runs in the victim’s browser context, granting the attacker the ability to read mailbox contents and perform actions on behalf of the victim.

Affected Systems

Zimbra Collaboration Suite version 10.1.16 is affected. The issue is fixed in version 10.1.17. No other versions or products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 reflects a high‑severity vulnerability that is exploitable remotely with user interaction. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector likely involves a malicious link sent to a user; once the user visits the link, the script executes automatically, potentially compromising the victim’s session. Because the flaw is remote but requires the victim to click the URL, the actual exploitation probability may be moderate, yet the impact is severe if the attacker succeeds.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zimbra Collaboration Suite to 10.1.17, which removes the improper encoding handling in the document editor.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict or block access to the /h/rest document editor endpoint or filter the packages parameter to reject unescaped values.
  • Continuously monitor user sessions and audit logs for anomalous script execution or unauthorized actions that could indicate an exploitation attempt.
