Zimbra Collaboration Server 9.0.0 < 9.0.0 Patch 41, 10.0 < 10.0.9, 10.1.0 < 10.1.1 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 211698

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a web application that is affected by a cross-site scripting.

Description

An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) through 10.0. Zimbra Webmail (Modern UI) is vulnerable to a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack due to improper sanitization of user input. This allows an attacker to inject malicious code into specific fields of an e-mail message. When the victim adds the attacker to their contacts, the malicious code is stored and executed when viewing the contact list. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as arbitrary mail sending, mailbox exfiltration, profile picture alteration, and other malicious actions. Proper sanitization and escaping of input fields are necessary to mitigate this vulnerability.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to version 9.0.0 Patch 41, 10.0.9, 10.1.1 or later.
