ETK-2026-3172Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
FreeScout versions before 1.8.249 do not consistently enforce deletion authorization when handling conversation operations. An authenticated agent who can view a conversation may permanently remove its history and attachments without having deletion permission. The issue requires access to affected conversations.
mitigation
Upgrade freescout-help-desk/freescout to version 1.8.249 or later. Until upgrades are complete, restrict agent access to sensitive conversations and limit untrusted agent accounts.
fixed in 1.8.249
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
