Description
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the login page of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute JavaScript through the zrememberme parameter. A crafted relogin URL selects a two-factor error display that inserts the parameter into a hidden input attribute without HTML encoding. A victim who opens the URL receives attacker-controlled script and page content under the legitimate Zimbra origin, allowing credential capture through a replacement login form. The relogin path logs out an existing session before rendering the payload, so the demonstrated attack does not inherit that session's mailbox access. ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.17 are affected.

AI Analysis

Impact

Zimbra Collaboration Suite contains a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the login page that allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject JavaScript via the zrememberme parameter. The vulnerability is triggered by a crafted relogin URL that forces a two‑factor error display; the unsanitized parameter is inserted into a hidden input attribute, causing the user’s browser to execute attacker code under the legitimate Zimbra origin. The attack can lead to credential capture by replacing the login form with a malicious one, thereby compromising user credentials without requiring an active session.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Zimbra Collaboration Suite versions 10.1.16 and 10.1.17. As of the last advisory, no later releases are listed as impacted. All installations of the listed versions should be treated as vulnerable unless patched to a fixed release.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.1, the flaw presents a moderate severity risk. The attacker’s only requirement is to entice a user to visit a malicious relogin link; no authentication or privileged state is needed. While the EPSS score is unavailable, the vulnerability’s public disclosure and lack of a KEV listing suggest that exploitation may occur, especially if users are unaware of the malicious link threat.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zimbra Collaboration Suite to version 10.1.18 or later, which contains the fixed input sanitization for the zrememberme parameter.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable or block the zrememberme functionality on the login page using a web‑application firewall or access control list to prevent the vulnerable parameter from being processed.
  • Conduct user awareness training so that staff recognize and avoid suspicious relogin URLs, mitigating the risk of session hijacking through the crafted link.
