CVE-2026-63205 Details
Description
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, when creating or updating an email signature, Zammad processes inline images referenced in the signature body. If a signature body contains an HTML img tag pointing to any existing attachment, the system copies that attachment into a new signature-owned record, without checking whether the user has permission to access the original attachment. The newly created copy is then downloadable by the same channel-admin user, because attachment access is determined by the copy's owner (the signature), not the original object (e.g., a ticket or knowledge-base article). This allows a user with any of the admin.channel_email, admin.channel_google, admin.channel_microsoft365, or admin.channel_microsoft_graph permissions to read attachments they would otherwise be denied access to, such as ticket attachments belonging to groups they are not a member of. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
A vulnerability in Zammad, a web-based open-source helpdesk and customer support system, allows channel-admin users to access unauthorized attachments through email signatures. This issue affects Zammad versions prior to 7.1.2. When a signature is created or updated, Zammad processes inline images referenced in the signature. If an image tag points to an existing attachment, the system copies the attachment into a new signature-owned record without verifying the user's permission to access the original. The copied attachment is then downloadable by the channel-admin user, as access is based on the signature's ownership rather than the original object's context, such as tickets or knowledge-base articles. Consequently, users with specific admin permissions can read attachments they would normally be denied, including ticket attachments from groups they do not belong to.
Users can update to Zammad version 7.1.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
