description

FreeScout versions before 1.8.231 do not properly protect an agent profile setting that limits access to assigned conversations. An authenticated, restricted non-administrator agent can remove that limitation and view or modify other agents' conversations in mailboxes they can access.

mitigation

Upgrade FreeScout to version 1.8.231 or later. Until upgraded, restrict untrusted agents' mailbox membership and review profile changes and access to unassigned conversations.

fixed in 1.8.231
