Description
The OTRS Agent Frontend configuration endpoint can be accessed without authentication. This allows unauthenticated remote users to retrieve internal application configuration that is intended for use by the authenticated Agent Frontend. The exposed information may include configured frontend routes and their associated authorization groups, authentication configuration, enabled product features, third-party integration settings, and other implementation details.

The exposed configuration does not directly contain user credentials or provide unauthorized modification of the OTRS configuration. However, the disclosed information may assist an attacker in fingerprinting the affected OTRS installation and identifying enabled functionality or security-relevant configuration that could be used to prepare further attacks.

This issue affects OTRS:

* 8.0.X
* 2023.X
* 2024.X
* 2025.X
* 2026.X before 2026.7.X

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from the Agent Frontend configuration endpoint in OTRS, which is reachable without authentication. Users who can access the endpoint can retrieve internal configuration data, including frontend routes, authorization groups, authentication settings, enabled features, third‑party integrations, and other implementation details. While this information does not expose credentials or directly allow configuration changes, it can assist an attacker in fingerprinting the installation and identifying security‑relevant functionality that could be leveraged in subsequent attacks. This is a CWE-497 Information Disclosure vulnerability.

Affected Systems

OTRS GmbH’s OTRS product is affected. The vulnerability applies to all installations of OTRS versions 8.0.x, 2023.x, 2024.x, 2025.x, and 2026.x prior to the 2026.7.x release. No OTRS 7 patches will address this issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers could exploit the unauthenticated endpoint remotely to gather internal configuration. The exposed data could aid reconnaissance activities, helping attackers identify enabled features or misconfigurations that may be targeted in later stages of an attack. Although it does not permit direct configuration changes or credential theft, the information leak increases the attack surface for future threats.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update to latest version of OTRS (2026.7.1. or later). Please note that there will be no OTRS 7 patches


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official patch by updating OTRS to version 2026.7.1 or later.
  • If upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict network access to the Agent Frontend configuration endpoint.
  • Monitor authentication logs for unusual access attempts and verify that the configuration endpoint remains inaccessible to unauthenticated users.
