Zimbra Collaboration Suite warning: Patch this 0-day right now (by hand)!
2023-07-14 19:58

Popular collaboration product Zimbra has warned customers to apply a software patch urgently to close a security hole that it says "Could potentially impact the confidentiality and integrity of your data."

This, in turn, means that X may end up with access to your account on site Y, by reading out and perhaps even modifying data that would otherwise be private to Y, such as your account details, login cookies, authentication tokens, transaction history, and so on.

Serve up content as a lure, showing a button or something of that sort that you'd be likely to see and want to click on.
