FreeScout Allows Unauthenticated Access to Legacy Attachment Files
CVE-2026-48812
Description
FreeScout is a free help desk and shared inbox built with PHP's Laravel framework. Prior to version 1.8.221, FreeScout's attachment download route skips token authentication for any attachment whose token_type is set to 1 (TOKEN_TYPE_LEGACY). Because this route is unauthenticated and the file path is deterministic, an unauthenticated remote attacker can download any attachment that was created by an older version of FreeScout without possessing a valid token or session. Version 1.8.221 contains a fix.
