An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. Command Injection can occur via custom Packages.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 1.0.4, 1.1.x before 1.1.3, and 1.2.x before 1.2.1. Attackers can login with the hashed password itself (e.g., from the DB) instead of the valid password string.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 1.0.4, 1.1.x before 1.1.3, and 1.2.x before 1.2.1, caused by lack of a protection mechanism involving HTTP Access-Control headers. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker can send cross-domain requests directly to the REST API for users with a valid session cookie and receive the result.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. The Form functionality allows remote code execution because deserialization is mishandled.

Zammad 5.2.0 is vulnerable to privilege escalation. Zammad has a prevention against brute-force attacks trying to guess login credentials. After a configurable amount of attempts, users are invalidated and logins prevented. An attacker might work around this prevention, enabling them to send more than the configured amount of requests before the user invalidation takes place.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 6.3.0. The Zammad Upload Cache uses insecure, partially guessable FormIDs to identify content. An attacker could try to brute force them to upload malicious content to article drafts they have no access to.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, when the "Automatic account link on initial logon" setting is enabled, Zammad binds an incoming third-party (SSO) identity to an existing local account by matching the email address the identity provider reports, without verifying that the provider actually confirmed ownership of that email. An attacker who controls any identity at a configured provider, including, by default, any Azure AD tenant via Zammad's multi-tenant Microsoft 365 /common app registration, can set that identity's email to a victim's address, authenticate, and be logged in as the victim. This bypasses the victim's local password entirely and affects any existing account, including agents and administrators. Zammad will honor the xmsedov ID token claim when email verification is required in the Microsoft 365 setting, treating a missing claim as unverified. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. SSRF can occur via GitHub or GitLab integration.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. In 7.0.2 and 7.1.0, zammad's session management for websocket and long-polling connections is susceptible to a path traversal attack. Session identifiers supplied by the client are insufficiently validated before being used to construct internal file paths. When the file-based session store is active (the default configuration), an authenticated attacker can manipulate the session identifier to reference locations outside the intended storage directory, leading to the deletion of arbitrary files and directories on the server. Exploitation requires only a low-privilege authenticated session and a single crafted request. Instances configured to use the Redis-based session store are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 7.0.3 and 7.1.1.

A CSRF issue was discovered in Zammad before 1.0.4, 1.1.x before 1.1.3, and 1.2.x before 1.2.1. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker can send cross-domain requests directly to the REST API for users with a valid session cookie.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. An Agent account can modify account data, and gain admin access, via a crafted request.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.1 and 6.5.4, unauthenticated remote attackers were able to access the getting started endpoint to get access to sensitive internal entity data, even after the system setup was completed. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.1 and 6.5.4.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.1, a server-side template injection vulnerability which leads to RCE via AI Agent exists. Impact is limited to environments where an attacker can control or influence typeenrichmentdata (typically high-privilege administrative configuration). This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.1.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2 and 7.1.0, this issue concerns a lack of discursive validation within the authorization cascade. It has been determined that the system-level enforcement of access restrictions during the initialization of new identity objects exhibits a discrepancy: Under specific conditions, the granular restrictions of the access key being used are overridden by the latent authorization authority of the parent account. Consequently, this means that the intended separation of functional areas is nullified, resulting in an uncontrolled expansion of administrative discretion. Due to this potential integrity breach of the entire trust environment, an immediate evaluation of the authorization hierarchies is imperative. Impact An attacker can create new administrator accounts despite token restrictions. This grants full access to all system data (tickets, customers, configuration) and allows the attacker to take complete control of the Zammad instance. Abuse Scenario The vulnerability stems from a lack of synergy between the token-based authorization logic and the target system's functional authorization hierarchy, which allows for iterative escalation of the privileged access context. This issue is fixed in versions 7.0.2 and 7.1.0.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, summary An unauthenticated request to POST /api/v1/import/otrs/importcheck blocks a Zammad request worker for roughly two minutes. The importcheck and importstatus actions are missing the setupdoneresponse guard that other actions in the same controller carry, so they execute on fully set-up production instances. The action enters a retry loop against a blank OTRS endpoint, sleeping for 30 s + 45 s between attempts. Impact An unauthenticated remote attacker denies service to a production Zammad instance. Each request costs almost nothing and forces ~115 seconds of server-side blocking. A few requests per second saturate the Puma worker pool. The condition persists as long as the traffic continues. No account, valid import configuration, or target knowledge beyond the hostname is needed. CSRF token is trivially obtained from any prior GET response. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, a security filter that protects Zammad's AI Agent configuration can be bypassed by entering specially crafted text into one of an AI Agent's fields. An administrator with permission to create or edit AI Agents could exploit this to run arbitrary commands on the server that hosts Zammad, potentially reading, modifying, or destroying all data stored on that server. No interaction from other users is needed; the malicious code runs automatically the next time the affected AI Agent processes a ticket. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.1, a low-privilege authenticated user may inject arbitrary HTML markup, including JavaScript event handlers, into a ticket title via the standard ticket creation workflow. The title is persisted without sanitization. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.1.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.1 and 6.5.4, the webhook model was missing a proper validation for loop back addresses, or link-local addresses — only the URL scheme (HTTP/HTTPS) as well as the hostname was checked. This could end up in retrieving confidential metadata of cloud/hosting providers. The existing check is now extended and is applied when configuring webhooks as well as triggering webhook jobs. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.1 and 6.5.4.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. The REST API discloses sensitive information.

Zammad 5.2.0 suffers from Incorrect Access Control. Zammad did not correctly perform authorization on certain attachment endpoints. This could be abused by an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to attachments, such as emails or attached files.

In Zammad 5.2.0, an attacker could manipulate the rate limiting in the 'forgot password' feature of Zammad, and thereby send many requests for a known account to cause Denial Of Service by many generated emails which would also spam the victim.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 4.1.1. An admin can execute code on the server via a crafted request that manipulates triggers.

Zammad 7.1.0 contains an authenticated improper authorization vulnerability in the ticket article attachment cloning endpoint.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, summary An issue with permission checks in the knowledge base management area has been identified. Under certain conditions, data validation for linked items was not fully enforced. This could have allowed users with limited read permissions to interact with items outside their assigned access scope. Data access has been strengthened in the current version through additional validation routines. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, a customer who can view a ticket cannot see internal ticket articles through the article listing API. However, the same customer can directly request an attachment belonging to an internal article via the attachment download endpoint, bypassing article-level authorization. This results in an inconsistency: The article listing hides internal articles from customers. The attachment download only checks the parent ticket, not the article, so the same customer can download the attachment directly. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, summary In Zammad's inbound PGP email processing, the return value of the gpg verification call was silently discarded. Regardless of whether gpg reported a valid, invalid, or missing signature, the handler unconditionally wrote sign: { success: true, comment: "Good signature" } to the article's security preferences. Impact Any sender could tamper with the body of a multipart/signed PGP email, or craft a message with an entirely fabricated or mismatched signature, and Zammad would display it to the recipient as cryptographically verified with a "Good signature" label. Users and agents relying on Zammad's signature indicator to confirm message authenticity and integrity would be misled into trusting modified or forged content. The vulnerability affects all inbound PGP-signed emails processed while the PGP integration is enabled. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, zammad's External Data Source feature, used to look up records from an external system, did not properly verify whether a user was allowed to see a specific ticket, user, group, or organization before including its details in a request to that external system. An authenticated user, including one with only basic customer access, could exploit this by referencing another record's ID, and thereby view details of tickets, customer accounts, teams, or organizations that did not belong to them. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, when Zammad checks the digital signature on an incoming S/MIME-signed email, it does not verify that the signing certificate is genuinely trusted, it only checks whether a certificate with a matching name is already stored in the system. An attacker can create their own certificate using the name of a real, previously trusted sender and use it to send a forged email. Zammad will display that email with the same "validly signed" indicator as a genuine message from the real sender, even though the attacker never had access to that sender's actual certificate or private key. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.1 and 6.5.4, the used endpoint for ticket creation was missing authorization if the related parameter for adding links is used. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.1 and 6.5.4.

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. In 7.0.3 and 7.1.1, an authenticated administrator can obtain stored integration credentials in cleartext through the integration administration API. Certain responses do not consistently mask sensitive fields, so configured secrets can be returned in plain text instead of the expected masked placeholder. Both the LDAP and Exchange integrations are affected. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
