Summary
Zimbra Collaboration from 0 before 10.1.21 is affected. Zimbra does not sanitize the Content-Location MIME header in email attachments, which is a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted email, and when a victim opens it in the Zimbra web interface and clicks the attachment name, JavaScript runs in the victim's browser.

Description from the CNA
Zimbra is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via the Content-Location MIME header in email attachments. Due to lack of sanitization of the Content-Location header, an attacker can set it to a javascript: URI. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted email to a victim; when the victim opens the email in the Zimbra web interface and clicks the attachment name, the JavaScript payload executes in the victim's browser context. This issue was fixed in version 10.1.21
