Unpatched Zimbra Platforms Are Probably Compromised, CISA Says

Attackers are targeting Zimbra systems in the public and private sectors, looking to exploit multiple vulnerabilities, CISA says.

Security teams running unpatched, Internet-connected Zimbra Collaboration Suites (ZCS) should just go ahead and assume compromise, and take immediate detection and response action.

That’s according to a new alert issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which flagged active Zimbra exploits for CVE-2022-24682, CVE-2022-27924, CVE-2022-27925, which are being chained with CVE-2022-37042, and CVE-2022-30333. The attacks lead to remote code execution and access to the Zimbra platform.

The result could be quite risky when it comes to shielding sensitive information and preventing email-based follow-on threats: ZCS is a suite of business communications services that includes an email server and a Web client for accessing messages via the cloud.

CISA, along with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), provided detection details and indicators of compromise (IoCs) to help security teams.

“Cyber-threat actors may be targeting unpatched ZCS instances in both government and private sector networks,” according to a Zimbra advisory.

CISA and the MS-ISAC strongly urged users and administrators to apply the guidance in the Recommendations section of this Cybersecurity Advisory to help secure their organization’s systems against malicious cyberactivity.

CISA Warns of Threat Actors Exploiting F5 BIG-IP Cookies for Network Reconnaissance

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning that it has observed threat actors leveraging unencrypted persistent cookies managed by the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) module to conduct reconnaissance of target networks. It said the module is being used to enumerate other non-internet-facing devices on the network. The agency, however, did not disclose who

UnRAR Path Traversal

This Metasploit module creates a RAR file that exploits CVE-2022-30333, which is a path-traversal vulnerability in unRAR that can extract an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location on a Linux system. UnRAR fixed this vulnerability in version 6.12 (open source version 6.1.7). The core issue is that when a symbolic link is unRARed, Windows symbolic links are not properly validated on Linux systems and can therefore write a symbolic link that points anywhere on the filesystem. If a second file in the archive has the same name, it will be written to the symbolic link path.
