CVE-2026-115786: Zimbra Collaboration Suite mailbox quota depletion

CVE-2026-115786 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-23

Zimbra Collaboration Suite is an enterprise email and collaboration platform. An authenticated user can exploit a flaw in how the system tracks shared document storage to consume another user's mailbox quota, potentially preventing them from receiving new email and using other storage-dependent features. This requires only a valid account on the system, not administrative access.

Technologies: Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Vendors: Zimbra.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a quota-accounting logic error in document sharing: when a document is shared with a recipient, the document size is charged to the recipient's mailbox quota, but when the share is revoked, the mailbox-wide quota charge is not reversed while folder counters are. An authenticated user can repeatedly share and revoke a document to an arbitrary target, causing the quota to accumulate charges without leaving visible shared-file records. This allows denial of service against any user's mailbox on systems with finite quotas.
