Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2022-41352

Zimbra Collaboration Suite processes email attachments through cpio in a way that lets an attacker upload arbitrary files and gain access to other user accounts, rated Critical at CVSS 9.8. The 95 percent EPSS score reflects sustained mass exploitation of Zimbra servers, which are internet-facing mail platforms by nature. CISA listed it in October 2022 while webshells were being planted through emailed archives.

Do this: Patch Zimbra now, install the pax package Zimbra requires, and sweep the server for webshells dropped via attachments.
