MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated Zimbra account able to issue a SearchCalendarResourcesRequest (PR:L) - this is standard account functionality, not a non-default feature, so no special server configuration toggle is named in the sources. Exploitation is inherently scoped and limited: results are restricted to calendar-resource LDAP objects and constrained by the LDAP service account's access rights, so only attributes that account can read (e.g., internal mailbox hostnames, mail transport routes) are recoverable, and recovery proceeds through repeated matching (boolean-oracle) queries rather than a single direct read. Principal limiting factors for defenders: valid authentication is mandatory, no privilege escalation or data modification is possible (I:N/A:N), and the disclosed data is low-sensitivity operational metadata rather than credentials or message bodies. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but modest-severity information-disclosure issue rather than an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3) is internally consistent: network-reachable, low complexity, but requires an authenticated account (PR:L) and yields only limited confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month' - a routine remediation priority, not act_now/emergency - which is consistent with the limited impact. No CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score were provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable widespread exploitation; absence of these is not evidence of safety but also does not elevate urgency. The vulnerability was reported by Rapid7, which published a technical blog describing the research, so the mechanism is well understood publicly even though the input does not mark a working exploit as confirmed. Key limiting factor to weigh against the network vector: exploitation is scoped to calendar-resource LDAP objects and bounded by the LDAP service account's access rights, and it leaks low-sensitivity operational metadata (internal mailbox hostnames, mail transport routes) rather than credentials or message content. Net: a real priority to patch on a normal cycle, but not a drop-everything issue. Missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS, no KEV status, and no SSVC decision-point breakdown were supplied, and no fixed version is stated in the available sources. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Zimbra user issues a SearchCalendarResourcesRequest in which the supplied attribute names are inserted unvalidated into the server's LDAP filter, letting the attacker inject additional boolean conditions. By running repeated matching queries and observing which return results, they enumerate otherwise-unreturned calendar-resource attributes such as internal mailbox hostnames and mail transport routes. Rapid7 published a technical writeup describing this technique; the input does not confirm a packaged working exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026
Zimbra Collaboration Suite 10.1.16 and 10.1.21 permit an authenticated user to inject LDAP filter conditions through attribute names in SearchCalendarResourcesRequest and then use repeated matching queries to recover readable calendar-resource attributes such as internal mailbox hostnames and mail transport routes. The impact is scoped to calendar-resource objects and the LDAP service account's permissions, with no data modification or privilege escalation. This is a genuine but modest-severity information-disclosure issue rather than an emergency, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The supplied intelligence does not provide an exact fixed build or a vendor-stated workaround, so the actionable path is to consult Zimbra Security Advisories (https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Security_Advisories) and apply the corrected release for the affected 10.1.16 and 10.1.21 branches when it is identified there. Because the flaw is in unvalidated attribute-name insertion rather than search-value escaping, relying on LDAP escaping alone is not a complete fix. No specific configuration toggle is confirmed by the available sources, and the independent assessment notes that SearchCalendarResourcesRequest is standard authenticated functionality, so there is no evidence-backed feature to disable; organizations should not deploy unverified workarounds and should track the vendor advisory for the fixed version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The underlying issue is CWE-90 LDAP injection in Zimbra's calendar-resource search path. ZCS escapes caller-supplied search values, but it inserts caller-supplied attribute names directly into LDAP filter expressions without validation; an authenticated account can therefore append filter conditions and use repeated matching queries as a boolean oracle to infer attribute values. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:zimbra:zimbra_collaboration_suite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers Zimbra Collaboration Suite broadly, while EUVD's affected range is 0 through 10.1.21 inclusive and the description explicitly names 10.1.16 and 10.1.21. The CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N vector is consistent with a remote, low-privilege, confidentiality-only flaw; results remain limited to calendar-resource LDAP objects and the service account's read rights, so this is not arbitrary directory access or an authentication bypass.

DescriptionCVE.org
An LDAP filter injection vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an authenticated user to query otherwise unreturned attributes of calendar resources through SearchCalendarResourcesRequest. Zimbra escapes search values but inserts the supplied attribute names directly into LDAP filter expressions without validation. An attacker can inject additional conditions and use repeated matching queries to recover readable resource attributes such as internal mailbox hostnames and mail transport routes. The search remains restricted to calendar-resource objects and the LDAP service account's access rights. ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.21 are affected.
