Short explanation

In FreeScout prior to version 1.8.227, the conversation_merge action fails to properly enforce authorization checks for the target conversation, allowing an authenticated agent to merge conversations into inaccessible mailboxes (S0). This issue is fixed in version 1.8.227 (S0).

Why does it matter?

It poses integrity risks as it allows authenticated attackers to inject data into target conversations in mailboxes they cannot access and delete the source conversation (S0).

What should be done?

  • Update FreeScout to version 1.8.227 or a later fixed version (S0).
  • Follow official vendor advisories (S0).
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

1.8.227 öncesi FreeScout sürümlerinde conversation_merge eylemi hedef konuşma için yetkilendirme denetimini atlamaktadır.

Kimliği doğrulanmış bir ajan, erişemediği bir posta kutusundaki hedef konuşmaya veri enjekte edebilir.

Show the technical text from the sources

FreeScout is a self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to 1.8.227, the conversation_merge action records a failed authorization check for the target conversation in response['msg'] and then clears that value inside the source-conversation loop. An authenticated agent can merge a conversation they control into a target conversation in a mailbox they cannot access. The operation injects threads, attachments, and audit records into the unauthorized target and deletes the source conversation, but it does not disclose the target's existing contents. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.227.
