AI Analysis

Impact

Faveo Helpdesk versions up to 2.0.3 suffer from a broken access control flaw that lets an authenticated agent read tickets belonging to other departments by using the /ticket/tooltip endpoint. The flaw allows enumeration of ticket IDs on GET /ticket/tooltip, exposing ticket conversations, customer personal data, and internal agent notes. The weakness is a classic example of inappropriate authorization (CWE-639).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Faveo Helpdesk as provided by Faveo Suite. Versions released through 2.0.3 are impacted and are not recommended for use.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 5.3 classifies the issue as moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, so no weighting can be applied for likely exploitation frequency. The vulnerability is listed outside the CISA KEV catalog, reducing the likelihood of widespread exploitation. The attack surface is an authenticated agent inside the helpdesk application; attackers need valid login credentials to trigger the data leakage. No public exploitation method is documented, but an insider or compromised agent account can mount the attack by iterating ticket IDs.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Faveo Helpdesk to the latest release that fixes the broken access control in the /ticket/tooltip endpoint
  • Restrict agent roles so that they can only access tickets belonging to their own department, ensuring proper authorization checks are enforced
  • Validate the ticket ID parameter in the tooltip handler and enforce ownership checks, thereby preventing cross‑department data exposure
