An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 8.8.x and 9.x (e.g., 8.8.15). The Sudo configuration permits the zimbra user to execute the NGINX binary as root with arbitrary parameters. As part of its intended functionality, NGINX can load a user-defined configuration file, which includes plugins in the form of .so files, which also execute as root.

In Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 8.8.15, the URL at /h/search?action accepts parameters called extra, title, and onload that are partially sanitised and lead to reflected XSS that allows executing arbitrary JavaScript on the victim's machine.

An issue was discovered in the webmail component in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. When using preauth, CSRF tokens are not checked on some POST endpoints. Thus, when an authenticated user views an attacker-controlled page, a request will be sent to the application that appears to be intended. The CSRF token is omitted from the request, but the request still succeeds.

An issue was discovered in ProxyServlet.java in the /proxy servlet in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0. The value of the X-Forwarded-Host header overwrites the value of the Host header in proxied requests. The value of X-Forwarded-Host header is not checked against the whitelist of hosts that ZCS is allowed to proxy to (the zimbraProxyAllowedDomains setting).

Zimbra Collaboration Open Source 8.8.15 does not encrypt the initial-login randomly created password (from the "zmprove ca" command). It is visible in cleartext on port UDP 514 (aka the syslog port). NOTE: a third party reports that this cannot be reproduced.

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the /public/launchNewWindow.jsp component of Zimbra Collaboration (aka ZCS) 9.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via request parameters.

An issue was discovered in the Calendar feature in Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8.x before 8.8.15 patch 30 (update 1), as exploited in the wild starting in December 2021. An attacker could place HTML containing executable JavaScript inside element attributes. This markup becomes unescaped, causing arbitrary markup to be injected into the document.

An open redirect vulnerability exists in the /preauth Servlet in Zimbra Collaboration Suite through 9.0. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would need to have obtained a valid zimbra auth token or a valid preauth token. Once the token is obtained, an attacker could redirect a user to any URL via isredirect=1&redirectURL= in conjunction with the token data (e.g., a valid authtoken= value).

An issue was discovered in ProxyServlet.java in the /proxy servlet in Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8 before 8.8.15 Patch 23 and 9.x before 9.0.0 Patch 16. The value of the X-Host header overwrites the value of the Host header in proxied requests. The value of X-Host header is not checked against the whitelist of hosts Zimbra is allowed to proxy to (the zimbraProxyAllowedDomains setting).

An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8 before 8.8.15 Patch 23 and 9.0 before 9.0.0 Patch 16. An XSS vulnerability exists in the login component of Zimbra Web Client, in which an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript by adding executable JavaScript to the loginErrorCode parameter of the login url.
