Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Zimbra
Product: Zimbra Collaboration Suite

Description

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the login page of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) versions up to 10.1.17. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of the zrememberme parameter, which is inserted into a hidden input attribute without HTML encoding. An attacker can craft a relogin URL that triggers a two-factor error display, causing victim browsers to execute attacker-controlled JavaScript under the legitimate Zimbra origin. This can lead to credential capture via a fake login form. The attack logs out any existing session before rendering, so it does not grant mailbox access from the victim's session.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-93638 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite's login page. The vulnerability is due to improper input neutralization of the zrememberme parameter, which is embedded in a hidden input field without proper HTML encoding during a two-factor authentication error display. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious relogin URL that causes victim browsers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of the legitimate Zimbra domain. This enables the attacker to present a fake login form to capture user credentials. The relogin path logs out any existing session before rendering the malicious payload, so the attack does not provide access to the victim's mailbox or session data. Affected versions include all ZCS versions from the initial release up to and including 10.1.17.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite login page, potentially leading to credential theft via a fake login form. However, the attack does not inherit any existing mailbox session, limiting the impact to credential capture rather than direct mailbox compromise. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.1 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope change, and low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should be cautious of suspicious relogin URLs and avoid clicking on untrusted links that could exploit this vulnerability.
