Zimbra Collaboration Server vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A critical security vulnerability (CVE-2023-41106) was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) affecting all versions before 10.0.3. The vulnerability represents a one-click security flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to a Zimbra account (SOCRadar, Zimbra Advisory). The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Sk4nd4 (https://twitter.com/Sk4nd4) and was assigned a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability operates through a one-click mechanism where attackers can exploit it by enticing Zimbra users with malicious links. When a user clicks on such a link, they inadvertently surrender their Zimbra credentials, providing the attacker with unrestricted access to the victim's account (SOCRadar).

Impact

The vulnerability affects all iterations of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, including the latest versions before the patches (SOCRadar).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in the following versions: Zimbra Collaboration 10.0.3, 9.0.0 Patch 35, and 8.8.15 Patch 42. Organizations are strongly advised to upgrade to these patched versions immediately. Additionally, users can implement interim security measures such as exercising caution with links from untrusted sources, carefully scrutinizing information entered into online forms, and implementing two-factor authentication (SOCRadar, Zimbra Advisory).
