π¨ **Essence**: A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw in Zimbra's Calendar Invite feature. π§ **Consequences**: Attackers inject malicious payloads into calendar headers.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: Improper input validation. π§ Specifically, the system fails to sanitize the **Calendar Header** in the Zimbra Webmail Classic UI.β¦
π― **Affected Versions**: β’ Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) **9.0** β’ Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) **10.0** π¦ **Component**: The 'CalendarInvite' feature within the Classic Webmail Interface. π₯οΈ
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π **Attacker Capabilities**: β’ Execute **Arbitrary JavaScript** in the victim's context. β’ Steal session cookies/tokens. β’ Perform actions on behalf of the user (e.g., send emails, access contacts).β¦
π **Exploitation Threshold**: **Low**. π The attack vector is an **email message**. The attacker only needs to send a crafted email with a malicious calendar header.β¦
π **Self-Check**: 1. Scan for Zimbra servers running v9.0 or v10.0. 2. Use Nuclei with the specific CVE-2024-27443 template. 3. Check if the 'Classic UI' is enabled. 4.β¦
