2DescriptionCVE.org
In Zimbra Collaboration before 10.1.17, a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Zimbra Classic Web Client due to improper validation of the fu request parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a crafted path, potentially allowing unauthorized disclosure of protected files, such as WEB-INF/web.xml, within the web application directory. This occurs in the Forward servlet.
AnalysisAI
Local file inclusion in Zimbra Collaboration's Classic Web Client (versions before 10.1.17) exposes protected server-side files via the Forward servlet's unvalidated 'fu' request parameter. An attacker supplying a crafted path can read files such as WEB-INF/web.xml, leaking application configuration including database credentials, internal class mappings, and security settings. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target Zimbra deployment exposes the Classic Web Client (as opposed to the Modern Web Client only) and that the Forward servlet is reachable over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The official CVSS 3.1 score of 3.1 reflects high attack complexity (AC:H) and low privilege requirement (PR:L), but the description contradicts the PR:L metric by explicitly stating 'unauthenticated attacker' - this inconsistency should be verified with Zimbra's security advisory before making patch prioritization decisions. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker identifies a Zimbra instance running the Classic Web Client and sends an HTTP request to the Forward servlet with a crafted 'fu' parameter containing a path traversal sequence targeting WEB-INF/web.xml (e.g., '../../WEB-INF/web.xml'). The server returns the contents of the deployment descriptor, revealing database connection strings or internal API keys. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is upgrading Zimbra Collaboration to version 10.1.17 or later, which the CVE description identifies as the resolved release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
