Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must hold a valid authenticated account on the target Zimbra server (PR:L) - any local user suffices, no admin or delegated rights are needed because the flaw is precisely that FileSharedWithMeRequest bypasses delegated-account authorization. The request accepts attacker-selected file metadata, owner identifiers and declared sizes without validating a corresponding real document share, so no cooperation from the victim and no prior share are required. Limiting factors: exploitation is confined to authenticated users of the server, requires no victim interaction, and its impact is limited to integrity (planting forged 'shared with me' records attributed to another real local account) with no confidentiality or availability effect; affected versions are ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.20.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-urgency, medium-severity issue despite being remotely reachable. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3) is internally consistent with the description: an already-authenticated user (PR:L) can abuse FileSharedWithMeRequest over the network with low complexity and no victim interaction, but the only impact is low integrity (I:L) - forged shared-file records planted in another account - with no confidentiality or availability loss. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), which aligns with the modest CVSS and integrity-only impact. No EPSS score was provided and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no signal of widespread or automated exploitation. The SSVC decision inputs (automatable, technical impact, exploitation status) were not supplied and cannot be assessed. A public technical reference from Rapid7 exists (the original reporter), which raises the odds of exploit development, but this is an authenticated, integrity-limited data-forgery flaw rather than a code-execution or data-theft bug. Note that Zimbra as a product has a strong history of being targeted, so operators should not dismiss it, but on its own signals this flaw is a routine scheduled-patch item, not a drop-everything priority.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds a valid, low-privileged account on the Zimbra server sends a crafted FileSharedWithMeRequest specifying another real local user as the file owner and attacker-chosen file metadata. Because the request bypasses delegated-account authorization and does not validate a corresponding document share, a forged 'shared with me' entry appears in the victim's mailbox with no action or interaction by the victim, enabling spoofing or social-engineering follow-ons. A public technical reference from Rapid7 exists; it is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026

Zimbra Collaboration Suite 10.1.16 and 10.1.20 allow any authenticated local user to plant forged 'shared with me' file records in another user's mailbox through FileSharedWithMeRequest without victim interaction, with impact limited to integrity. The request bypasses delegated-account authorization and accepts attacker-selected metadata, owner identifiers, and declared sizes without validating a corresponding document share. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Obtain and apply the fixed Zimbra Collaboration Suite build referenced by the vendor advisory at https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Security_Advisories; the supplied data does not specify an exact fixed release, so confirm the patched build for 10.1.16 and 10.1.20 before upgrading. Rapid7's analysis is available at https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/ve-breaking-zimbra-identity-boundaries-part-1/ for additional context. The provided sources do not describe compensating controls, so no specific workaround can be recommended from the available evidence.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is an object-level authorization failure in Zimbra's mailbox sharing path, mapped to CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key). FileSharedWithMeRequest trusts client-supplied owner identifiers and file metadata instead of deriving or validating them against an actual document share, allowing forged shared-file entries attributed to another real local account. The assessed CVSS vector requires a valid authenticated account (PR:L) and no victim interaction (UI:N); confidentiality and availability impact are none, while integrity impact is low. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:zimbra:zimbra_collaboration_suite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is broad, and EUVD lists an affected range up to ZCS 10.1.20, while the description specifically identifies 10.1.16 and 10.1.20 as affected. The provided sources do not identify an underlying library beyond Zimbra's mailbox/sharing request handling.

DescriptionCVE.org

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.
