Microsoft observed attackers exploiting CVE-2026-73570 — an unauthenticated command-injection flaw in Zimbra's optional SNMP monitoring package — to probe internet-facing mail servers, deploy web/reverse shells, escalate privileges (including to root), harvest service and mailbox credentials, and attempt mailbox backup exfiltration (including use of AzCopy); Zimbra released a fix in 10.1.20 and mitigations include removing the SNMP package or disabling SNMP notifications.
