Risk Analysis

Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) has a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its Calendar feature that allows for arbitrary code execution. The very high EPSS score of 0.87968 indicates a strong likelihood of exploitation, and its inclusion in CISA's KEV confirms active exploitation. This makes it an urgent concern for organizations using Zimbra.

Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild. As an XSS vulnerability, it is remotely exploitable, likely through malicious calendar entries or shared content.

Recommended Action

Update Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) to the latest patched version. Ensure all web applications, especially those with user-generated content, properly sanitize input to prevent XSS attacks.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-24682 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

CISA has added CVE-2022-24682 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
