CVE-2026-35584

FreeScout has an Unauthenticated IDOR in Open Tracking Endpoint Allows Cross-Conversation Thread Manipulation and Enumeration

Published Apr 7, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FreeScout is a free help desk and shared inbox built with PHP's Laravel framework. Prior to 1.8.212, the endpoint GET /thread/read/{conversation_id}/{thread_id} does not require authentication and does not validate whether the given thread_id belongs to the given conversation_id. This allows any unauthenticated attacker to mark any thread as read by passing arbitrary IDs, enumerate valid thread IDs via HTTP response codes (200 vs 404), and manipulate opened_at timestamps across conversations (IDOR). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.212.
