CVE-2026-41183 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in FreeScout, a self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox system.

The vulnerability impacts versions 1.0.0 through 1.8.214 and is resolved in version 1.8.215.
The primary impact of CVE-2026-41183 is the unauthorized exposure of sensitive information contained within conversations.

This could lead to the disclosure of confidential customer data, internal communications, or other sensitive information. The blast radius extends to any user with access to the FreeScout instance, as an attacker could potentially gain access to a wide range of conversations.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-41183 is to upgrade FreeScout to version 1.8.215 or later. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider implementing temporary workarounds such as restricting access to the global search functionality or carefully reviewing and limiting the permissions granted to users. Monitor FreeScout logs for unusual search activity that might indicate exploitation attempts. After upgrading, verify the fix by attempting to access restricted conversations via global search and AJAX filters; access should be denied.
Actualice FreeScout a la versión 1.8.215 o posterior para mitigar la vulnerabilidad. Esta actualización corrige la falla al aplicar la restricción 'assigned-only' a las consultas de búsqueda global y a los filtros AJAX, evitando la divulgación de conversaciones ocultas.
