Detailsinfo
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in freescout-help-desk freescout up to 1.8.214. Affected is the function Attachment::deleteByIds. The manipulation of the argument attachments_all[] with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-862. The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.215, the reply and draft flows trust client-supplied encrypted attachment IDs. Any IDs present in `attachments_all[]` but omitted from retained lists are decrypted and passed directly to `Attachment::deleteByIds()`. Because `load_attachments` returns encrypted IDs for attachments on a visible conversation, a mailbox peer can replay those IDs through `save_draft` and delete the original attachment row and file. Version 1.8.215 fixes the vulnerability.
The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-41192 since 04/18/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
