CVE-2022-27926 is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) version 9.0. This security flaw is present in the /public/launchNewWindow.jsp component, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML via request parameters. Such vulnerabilities pose significant risks as they can be exploited to execute malicious scripts in the context of a victim's browser, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, session hijacking, and other malicious activities.
The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'errCode' parameter of the error.jsp page. By crafting a malicious URL containing a specific XSS payload, an attacker can trigger the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code in the browser of any user who clicks on the link. This exploit can lead to various security breaches, including the theft of session cookies, personal data, and other exploitable information stored in the browser or associated with the user's session on the Zimbra Collaboration platform.
Exploiting this XSS vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration can have severe consequences, including but not limited to, compromise of user accounts, unauthorized access to sensitive emails and documents, alteration of user data, and the spreading of malware to other users within the organization.
