What is the Vulnerability?

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability (CVE-2025-68645) exists in the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Webmail Classic UI due to improper handling of user-supplied request parameters in the RestFilter servlet. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft malicious requests, potentially exposing sensitive configuration and application data and aiding further compromise.

Successful exploitation may allow threat actors to:
• Leak sensitive files from the system WebRoot directory
• Gain reconnaissance and foothold inside the targeted environment.
• Potentially leverage exposed information for further exploitation or escalation.
• A public proof-of-concept exploit is available, and active exploitation has been observed

What is the recommended Mitigation?

• Apply vendor patches immediately for all affected ZCS versions (Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 10.0 – 10.0.17- Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 10.1.0 – 10.1.12), and Fixed versions are 10.0.18 and 10.1.13.
• Restrict access to Zimbra Webmail interfaces from untrusted networks.
• Hunt for anomalous file inclusion requests and unauthorized file access patterns.
