CVE-2026-84463 Details
Description
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, a user with Knowledge Base editing rights for a category can embed a video widget in a published answer with a specially crafted value. When the answer is rendered, that value is inserted into the page's HTML without being escaped for its attribute context, allowing it to break out and inject additional HTML into the page. When another user who has permission to switch between user sessions views the affected answer, the injected HTML causes their browser to silently send a request to Zammad's session-switching endpoint using their own active credentials. This results in switching their session to an account chosen by the person who wrote the Knowledge Base answer. No action is required from the viewer beyond opening the published answer. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
A stored HTML injection vulnerability has been identified in Zammad, a web-based open-source helpdesk and customer support system, in versions prior to 7.1.2. The issue arises in the Knowledge Base video widget, where a user with editing rights can embed a video with a specially crafted value. This value is rendered in the HTML without proper escaping, enabling the injection of additional HTML. When another user with permission to switch between sessions views the affected answer, the injected HTML exploits this by sending a request to Zammad's session-switching endpoint using the viewer's active credentials. This inadvertently switches the user's session to an account selected by the Knowledge Base answer's author.
Users can update to Zammad version 7.1.2 or later to address this vulnerability.
