Vulnerability Descriptions
Wrong authorization checks for impersonation requests via X-On-Behalf-Of
Zammad allows impersonation requests via the X-On-Behalf-Of header. This allows authorized users to perform actions in the name of other users. However, the authorization checks for those requests are performed for the actual user and not the one given in the X-On-Behalf-Of header. This allows an attacker to gain access to information without proper authentication checks.
Recommended Resolution
This vulnerability is fixed in the latest versions of Zammad and it is recommended to upgrade to one of these.
Fixed releases can be found at:
- https://zammad.org/
- https://ftp.zammad.com/
Or just update your Zammad if installed via OS package manager.
