CVE-2026-73576: CWE-1241 Use of Predictable Algorithm in Random Number Generator in Zimbra Collaboration
In Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) before 10.1.17, weak cryptographic key generation vulnerability exists in the OnlyOffice integration. The zimbraDocumentEditingJwtSecret is generated using an insecure random number generator, resulting in insufficient entropy. An attacker who obtains a JWT signed with the generated secret may be able to recover the JWT signing secret through offline brute-force, potentially enabling JWT forgery.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration prior to 10.1.17 concerns the generation of the zimbraDocumentEditingJwtSecret using a predictable random number generator, classified under CWE-1241. The weak entropy in the secret allows attackers with access to a JWT signed by this secret to attempt offline brute-force attacks to recover the secret. Successful recovery could enable the attacker to forge JWTs, potentially compromising the integrity of authentication or authorization mechanisms relying on these tokens.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to the potential for JWT forgery, which could allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users or escalate privileges within the affected Zimbra Collaboration environment. There is no direct impact on confidentiality or availability reported. The CVSS score of 6.3 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and a scope change with integrity impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided in the available data. Until a fix is available, organizations should monitor vendor communications for updates and consider limiting exposure of JWT tokens or the OnlyOffice integration if feasible.
