CVE-2026-41191
7.1
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N
Summary
FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.215, MailboxesController::updateSave() persists chat_start_new outside the allowed-field filter. A user with only the mailbox sig permission sees only the signature field in the UI, but can still change the hidden mailbox-wide chat setting via direct POST. Version 1.8.215 fixes the vulnerability.
