CVE-2026-34442 Details
Description
FreeScout is a free help desk and shared inbox built with PHP's Laravel framework. Prior to version 1.8.211, host header manipulation in FreeScout version (http://localhost:8080/system/status) allows an attacker to inject an arbitrary domain into generated absolute URLs. This leads to External Resource Loading and Open Redirect behavior. When the application constructs links and assets using the unvalidated Host header, user requests can be redirected to attacker-controlled domains and external resources may be loaded from malicious servers. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.211.
A host header injection vulnerability has been identified in FreeScout versions prior to 1.8.211. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary domains into absolute URLs generated by the application. As a result, the application may inadvertently redirect users to attacker-controlled domains or load external resources from malicious servers. This issue arises because FreeScout's URL generation process relies on the unvalidated Host header, creating opportunities for phishing attacks or brand impersonation.
Users can update to FreeScout version 1.8.211 or later to address this vulnerability.
