Summary
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 10.1.16 and 10.1.20 are affected. A cross-account authorization flaw (CWE-639) lets an authenticated user insert forged shared-file records into another user's mailbox through FileSharedWithMeRequest, without checking that a document share exists. An attacker can plant entries attributed to another real local account that never shared a document, and no victim interaction is required. An exploit link is listed in the references.

Description from the CNA
A cross-account authorization vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an authenticated user to insert forged shared-file records into another user's mailbox through FileSharedWithMeRequest. The request bypasses delegated-account authorization and accepts attacker-selected file metadata, owner identifiers and declared sizes without validating a corresponding document share. An attacker can plant entries attributed to another real local account without that account sharing a document. No victim interaction is required. ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.20 are affected.
