Description
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, any authenticated user can call the REST endpoint for getting a tag list and receive the tag names for the given ticket, regardless of whether they have access to that ticket. Tags are an internal categorization feature and may contain sensitive labels. Ticket IDs are sequential integers, making bulk enumeration straightforward. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated user can invoke the REST endpoint that lists tags for a specified ticket even if the user lacks permission for that ticket. The endpoint exposes the tag names associated with tickets, and those tags may contain confidential information. The vulnerability is based on improper authorization control (CWE‑639) and leads to information disclosure, but does not provide code execution or denial of service.

Affected Systems

Affected is the Zammad help‑desk application from the vendor Zammad. All releases prior to version 7.1.2 are vulnerable. The issue is fixed starting with 7.1.2.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate impact. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation. However, because the API is accessible to any authenticated user, an attacker who can log into the system can directly request the tag list for sequential ticket IDs, enabling straightforward enumeration of sensitive internal labels.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zammad to version 7.1.2 or later to have the authorization check added to the tags API.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, block or restrict access to the tags list endpoint from unauthenticated or non‑privileged users via a web‑application firewall or API gateway rules.
  • Verify that only authorized users can request tag lists by reviewing application logs and ensuring proper role‑based access controls are enforced for ticket resources.
