CVE-2026-93639: Zimbra Collaboration Suite authorization bypass in Zimlet configuration

CVE-2026-93639 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.7 · Published 2026-10-23

Zimbra Collaboration Suite is a self-hosted email and collaboration platform used by enterprises for email, calendars, and file sharing. A missing authorization check allows a delegated administrator with limited privileges to modify global Zimlet configuration and inject attacker-controlled domains into the service proxy allowlist. When a legitimate user visits a crafted URL, the browser loads attacker-controlled HTML under Zimbra's trusted domain, enabling JavaScript to read emails, contacts, and perform authenticated actions as the victim.

Technologies: Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Vendors: Zimbra.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a missing authorization check in the ConfigureZimletRequest SOAP handler that fails to validate whether a delegated administrator has permission to modify global Zimlet settings. An attacker with a delegated-administrator account can upload malicious Zimlet configuration and add an arbitrary domain to the proxy allowlist of the default class of service. When a signed-in user visits a crafted /service/proxy URL pointing to the attacker's domain, Zimbra serves the attacker's HTML under its own origin, allowing the injected JavaScript to access session cookies and perform authenticated mailbox operations.
