AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeScout versions prior to 1.8.179

Description The issue allows users to view arbitrary messages from other mailboxes or conversations they do not have access to, due to a lack of checks when creating a conversation from a message in another conversation. The access restriction to conversations, implemented by the show only assigned conversations setting, is also not checked.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.179, update to version 1.8.179 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to conversations by carefully managing the show only assigned conversations setting until the update can be applied.
