Description
An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 10.0 and 10.1. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Zimbra Briefcase feature due to insufficient sanitization of specific uploaded file types. When a user opens a publicly shared Briefcase file containing malicious scripts, the embedded JavaScript executes in the context of the user's session. This allows an attacker to run arbitrary scripts, potentially leading to data exfiltration or other unauthorized actions on behalf of the victim user.

Score: 6.1 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Stored cross‑site scripting that allows arbitrary scripts to run in the victim’s browser, potentially enabling data theft or other unauthorized actions.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the Zimbra Briefcase feature. The application fails to sanitize particular uploaded file types, letting an attacker embed malicious JavaScript. When a user opens a publicly shared Briefcase file containing that script, the code executes within the user’s browser context, giving the attacker the ability to run arbitrary scripts under the victim’s authority.

Affected Systems

Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite versions 10.0 and 10.1 are affected. Any installation that uses the Briefcase feature and shares its contents publicly is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.1 and an EPSS lower than 1 %. It can be exploited by uploading a crafted file to a publicly accessible Briefcase folder. No special permissions on the server are required; the attacker only needs a user account with upload rights. Once the victim opens the file, the attacker’s script runs, potentially exfiltrating data or performing other actions. The flaw is not listed in the KEV catalog, but its straightforward exploit path makes it an attractive target for attackers seeking to compromise user accounts without host‑level privileges.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zimbra Collaboration Suite to version 10.1.16 or later.
  • Restrict or revoke public access to Briefcase folders.
  • Limit or disable upload of file types that can contain embedded scripts in Briefcase.
  • Ensure the Briefcase preview engine does not execute user‑provided scripts by applying proper XSS filtering.
