Risk Analysis

This cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages due to improper sanitization of URL parameters. The very high EPSS score of 0.94248 indicates a strong likelihood of exploitation, and its inclusion in the KEV confirms it is actively exploited.

This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, meaning that functional exploits are available and being used by threat actors. This flaw is remotely exploitable.
