info:
  name: Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8.15/9.0 - Zip Path Traversal
  author: popy21
  severity: high
  description: |
    Zimbra Collaboration (aka ZCS) 8.8.15 and 9.0 has mboximport functionality that receives a ZIP archive and extracts files from it. An authenticated user with administrator rights has the ability to upload arbitrary files to the system, leading to directory traversal.
  impact: |
    An administrator-authenticated attacker uploads a ZIP whose entries traverse out of the extraction directory, dropping a JSP webshell into the Zimbra webroot for remote code execution as the zimbra user - and CVE-2022-37042 removes the authentication requirement entirely, which is how this pair was mass-exploited in the wild.
  remediation: |
    Apply Zimbra Collaboration 8.8.15 Patch 31 or 9.0.0 Patch 24 (both released 2022-03-30) or later, which also requires the CVE-2022-37042 fix in 8.8.15 Patch 33 / 9.0.0 Patch 26 to close the authentication bypass on the same mboximport endpoint.
