Description
An LDAP filter injection vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an authenticated user to query otherwise unreturned attributes of calendar resources through SearchCalendarResourcesRequest. Zimbra escapes search values but inserts the supplied attribute names directly into LDAP filter expressions without validation. An attacker can inject additional conditions and use repeated matching queries to recover readable resource attributes such as internal mailbox hostnames and mail transport routes. The search remains restricted to calendar-resource objects and the LDAP service account's access rights. ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.21 are affected.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an LDAP filter injection that allows an authenticated user to request otherwise hidden attributes of calendar resources. By including malicious attribute names, the attacker can inject additional LDAP conditions and iteratively retrieve readable attributes such as internal hostnames and mail routes. This results in sensitive internal information disclosure but does not grant direct access to the underlying mailboxes or system binaries.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Zimbra Collaboration Suite versions 10.1.16 and 10.1.21. Only Zimbra's LDAP service is impacted; other components remain unaffected. Users exposed to the SearchCalendarResourcesRequest endpoint can exploit the flaw if they have valid credentials.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity. The exploit probability is currently unknown because EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not tracked as a known exploited event. Attackers require authenticated access, but the scope is limited to calendar-resource objects and the rights of the LDAP service account. If an attacker succeeds, they gain only non‑privileged internal information, reducing potential for broader compromise. Nonetheless, organizations should treat the flaw as a risk to internal confidentiality.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zimbra Collaboration Suite to the latest version that corrects the LDAP filter injection issue
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, limit the ability of users to specify attribute names in SearchCalendarResourcesRequest by applying a whitelist or disabling that feature in custom configurations
  • Monitor LDAP logs for repeated or anomalous filter queries to detect attempts to recover hidden attributes
