Description
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, this vulnerability breaks normal ticket isolation boundaries between agents. Any authenticated agent, even one with no active tickets assigned to them, can view the titles, status, labels, and URL links of GitHub/GitLab issues attached to any ticket in the system. This allows an internal user to systematically view GitHub/GitLab issue data linked by other agents or administrators across the organization by simply querying random or sequential ticket IDs. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

Zammad’s GitHub and GitLab integration module fails to perform an authorization check when retrieving integration data for tickets. As a result, any authenticated agent—even those with no active tickets—can request and view the titles, status, labels, and URLs of third‑party issues attached to every ticket in the system. This flaw constitutes an authorization bypass (CWE‑862) and directly compromises the confidentiality of linked issue information within the helpdesk platform.

Affected Systems

All Zammad releases before version 7.0.2 are vulnerable, including every 6.x build and earlier 7.x versions. The remediation was introduced in the 7.0.2 release and later updates, so any deployment that has not applied that upgrade remains susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 places the vulnerability in the moderate threat tier. No EPSS information is available and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating limited public awareness of active exploitation. The attack requires only that the user be an authenticated internal agent, meaning the vulnerability can be exercised by any such user simply by enumerating ticket identifiers. Until a patch is deployed, the risk remains at the level described above.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zammad to version 7.0.2 or later to install the missing authorization check.
  • Restrict access to GitHub/GitLab integration data so that only designated administrators or agents with explicit permission can retrieve this information.
  • Monitor ticket query logs for abnormal patterns and enforce stricter privilege controls if anomalous activity is detected.
