An issue was discovered in Zammad before 3.4.1. There is an authentication bypass in the SSO endpoint via a crafted header, when SSO is not configured. An attacker can create a valid and authenticated session that can be used to perform any actions in the name of other users.

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.

A vulnerability in Zammad v5.3.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via a crafted message sent to the server.

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.

An access control issue in Zammad v5.0.3 allows attackers to write entries to the CTI caller log without authentication. This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute phishing attacks or cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

In Zammad 6.4.x before 6.4.2, there is client-side enforcement of server-side security. When changing their two factor authentication configuration, users need to re-authenticate with their current password first. However, this change was enforced in Zammad only on the front end level, and not when using the API directly.

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.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 6.3.0. Users with customer access to a ticket could have accessed time accounting details of this ticket via the API. This data should be available only to agents.

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.

In Zammad 6.4.x before 6.4.2, there is information exposure. Only agents should be able to see and work on shared article drafts. However, a logged in customer was able to see details about shared drafts for their customer tickets in the browser console, which may contain confidential information, and also to manipulate them via API.

With certain LDAP configurations, Zammad 5.0.1 was found to be vulnerable to unauthorized access with existing user accounts.

An SSRF issue was discovered in Zammad before 3.4.1. The SMS configuration interface for Massenversand is implemented in a way that renders the result of a test request to the User. An attacker can use this to request any URL via a GET request from the network interface of the server. This may lead to disclosure of information from intranet systems.

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 3.5.1. A REST API call allows an attacker to change Ticket Article data in a way that defeats auditing.

Incorrect Access Control in Zammad 1.0.x up to 4.0.0 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via email connection configuration probing.

An issue was discovered in Zammad 3.0 through 3.2. The WebSocket server crashes when messages in non-JSON format are sent by an attacker. The message format is not properly checked and parsing errors not handled. This leads to a crash of the service process.

An issue was discovered in Zammad 3.0 through 3.2. It does not prevent caching of confidential data within browser memory. An attacker who either remotely compromises or obtains physical access to a user's workstation can browse the browser cache contents and obtain sensitive information. The attacker does not need to be authenticated with the application to view this information, as it would be available via the browser cache.
