Zimbra is urging customers to update after fixing a critical stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Classic Web Client of its widely used email and collaboration platform. A specially crafted email can run malicious scripts when it is simply opened, potentially exposing mailbox contents, session data, and account settings, and enabling session hijacking or credential theft. The flaw, reported by Google's Threat Analysis Group, has no CVE assigned yet and is not confirmed as exploited, but the group often surfaces bugs used by state-backed actors. Zimbra's web client has been a repeated target: Russian-linked groups have exploited similar cross-site scripting flaws against government and military organizations. Updating to version 10.1.19 fixes it.
Shadowserver scan data published Friday shows over 10,500 Zimbra Collaboration Suite instances still unpatched against CVE-2025-48700, a Classic-UI XSS that Synacor fixed in June 2025 but CISA only added to KEV on April 20. Exposed servers split nearly evenly between Asia (3,794) and Europe (3,793). The flaw triggers when a victim simply views a crafted email - no clicks - and runs JavaScript inside their authenticated session for mailbox theft and MFA backup-code retrieval. Zimbra is a recurring APT target: Russia's Winter Vivern, APT29, and APT28 have all run Zimbra-XSS campaigns against NATO and Ukrainian targets.
CISA added eight actively-exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on April 20, with federal agencies required to patch three Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager flaws by today, April 23, and the remaining five by May 4. The Cisco trio (CVE-2026-20122, CVE-2026-20128, CVE-2026-20133) enable arbitrary file upload with vmanage user privileges, recovery of stored credentials for the DCA user, and unauthenticated disclosure of sensitive configuration data. Cisco confirmed exploitation of the first two in March 2026. The other five cover a wide blast radius: CVE-2025-32975 is a CVSS 10.0 authentication bypass in Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance letting attackers impersonate any user without credentials, exploited in the wild by unknown actors last month per Arctic Wolf. CVE-2023-27351 is the PaperCut NG/MF bypass that Microsoft's Lace Tempest chained into Cl0p and LockBit deployments back in 2023. CVE-2024-27199 is a path traversal in JetBrains TeamCity giving limited admin actions - its sibling CVE-2024-27198 is already on the KEV list. CVE-2025-48700 is a Zimbra XSS that the Ukrainian CERT attributes to UAC-0233/UAC-0250 for stealing mailbox contents, MFA backup codes, and application passwords. CVE-2025-2749 is a Kentico Xperience Staging Sync Server path traversal.
