Technical details

An authentication vulnerability in Zimbra's iCalendar REPLY processing causes a null sender identity to be passed when handling calendar responses, bypassing the attendee authorization filter. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a non-outdated REPLY component to change an attendee's participation status in the organizer's calendar, with the change applied automatically during message delivery. The vulnerability affects ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.21 through improper identity validation in the email calendar delivery pipeline.
