Summary
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) versions up to and including 10.1.17 are affected. A reflected cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79) on the login page inserts the zrememberme parameter into a hidden input attribute without HTML encoding. An unauthenticated attacker can make a victim who opens a crafted URL run JavaScript under the Zimbra origin, enabling credential capture through a fake login form. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the login page of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute JavaScript through the zrememberme parameter. A crafted relogin URL selects a two-factor error display that inserts the parameter into a hidden input attribute without HTML encoding. A victim who opens the URL receives attacker-controlled script and page content under the legitimate Zimbra origin, allowing credential capture through a replacement login form. The relogin path logs out an existing session before rendering the payload, so the demonstrated attack does not inherit that session's mailbox access. ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.17 are affected.
