Summary
Unauthenticated requests to /h/* can populate servlet attributes intended for trusted internal dispatch in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS). RestFilter copies URL parameters for the authentication token, target account, target item and dispatch state into request attributes that the Classic Web Client consumes. An attacker who combines this with CVE-2026-10632 on ZCS 10.1.16 can supply their own valid token and document identifiers and run JavaScript in another user's signed-in browser session. ZCS 10.1.17 blocks that XSS chain by changing the document renderer, but it keeps the request attribute override.

Description from the CNA
A request attribute override vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows unauthenticated requests to /h/* to populate servlet attributes intended for trusted internal dispatch. RestFilter copies URL parameters specifying an authentication token, target account, target item and dispatch state into the request attributes consumed by the Classic Web Client. Combined with CVE-2026-10632 on ZCS 10.1.16, this allows an attacker to supply their own valid token and document identifiers and execute JavaScript in another user's signed-in browser session. ZCS 10.1.17 blocks that XSS chain by changing the document renderer, but retains the request attribute override.

Remediation
No fixed version is listed for ZCS. Version 10.1.17 blocks the XSS chain by changing the document renderer, but the request attribute override remains, so upgrading to 10.1.17 does not remove the underlying exposure.
