Q: How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)

🔎 **Self-Check**: • Scan for ZCS versions < 8.7 Patch 1 or < 8.8.7. • Use Nuclei template: `CVE-2018-6882.yaml`. • Check if `Content-Location` headers in attachments are sanitized. 🧪

Q: Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)

🛡️ **Official Fix**: **Yes**. • Update to **ZCS 8.7 Patch 1** or later. • Update to **ZCS 8.8.7** or later. • Refer to Zimbra Security Advisories for details. ✅

Q: What if no patch? (Workaround)

🚧 **No Patch Workaround**: • Disable attachment previewing if possible. • Implement WAF rules to block XSS payloads in `Content-Location` headers. • Educate users not to open suspicious emails. 🛑

Q: Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)

⚠️ **Urgency**: **High**. • Easy to exploit remotely. • Widespread use of Zimbra. • Public PoC available. • **Action**: Patch immediately to prevent account takeover. 🚀
