Multiple CSRF in Zimbra Mail interface

Multiple CSRF vulnerabilities have been found in the Mail interface of Zimbra 8.0.9 GA Release, enabling to change account preferences like e-mail forwarding. Forms in the preferences part of old releases of Zimbra are vulnerable to CSRF because of the lack of a CSRF token identifying a valid session. As a consequence, requests can be forged and played arbitrarily.

Mitigation:

Sensitive forms should be protected by a CSRF token.
