Freescout · Freescout · CVE-2026-47123
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeScout versions prior to 1.8.220
**Description**
The email processing pipeline in the `FetchEmails` command contains two code paths for identifying agent replies using In-Reply-To and References headers. The notification reply path (notify-`thread id`-`user id`-...) extracts the `thread id` and `user id` directly from the Message-ID without HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) verification. This allows an external attacker to spoof the From address of a helpdesk agent and inject messages that are processed as legitimate agent replies, which are then automatically forwarded to customers via the legitimate SMTP server.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 1.8.220.
