Mailbox theft via unescaped Calendar attribute markup
Published Feb 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 7, 2026
Stored XSS in the Calendar feature of Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8.x allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in user sessions. The Classic HTML client renders attacker-controlled HTML placed inside element attributes without escaping it, injecting executable markup into the document. A logged-in user must follow a crafted link; observed exploitation stole mailbox messages and attachments through the user's session.
