Zimbra Zip Path Traversal

This Metasploit module POSTs a ZIP file containing path traversal characters to the administrator interface for Zimbra Collaboration Suite. If successful, it plants a JSP-based backdoor within the web directory, then executes it. The core vulnerability is a path traversal issue in Zimbra Collaboration Suite’s ZIP implementation that can result in the extraction of an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location on the host. This issue is exploitable on Zimbra Collaboration Suite Network Edition versions 9.0.0 Patch 23 and below as well as Zimbra Collaboration Suite Network Edition versions 8.8.15 Patch 30 and below.
