Technical details

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) prior to version 8.7.0. The flaws, identified internally as bugs 104552 and 104703, stem from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to interact with a malicious link or view crafted content, leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. This can result in session hijacking or unauthorized access to sensitive user data. The issues are resolved in Zimbra Collaboration 8.7.0.
