description

All Zammad versions, including the latest alpha releases, are affected. An attacker who can act as the local zammad user can elevate privileges to root on the host.

mitigation

Restrict and monitor access to the local zammad account, and isolate affected hosts from untrusted users. Apply vendor-provided remediation when available or discontinue exposed installations.

fixed in 7.1.0-alpha
