An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-29185 exists.\n\nAffected product: freescout-helpdesk freescout. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29185/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29185/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-29185","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29185/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-29185","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7p9x-ch4c-vqj9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeScout help desk","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker with the App_Key can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server via the php_path parameter, leading to full server compromise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"freescout","vendor":"freescout"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"FreeScout is a self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Versions prior to 1.8.128 are vulnerable to OS Command Injection in the /public/tools.php source file. The value of the php_path parameter is being executed as an OS command by the shell_exec function, without validating it. This allows an adversary to execute malicious OS commands on the server. A practical demonstration of the successful command injection attack extracted the /etc/passwd file of the server. This represented the complete compromise of the server hosting the FreeScout application. This attack requires an attacker to know the `App_Key` of the application. This limitation makes the Attack Complexity to be High. If an attacker gets hold of the `App_Key`, the attacker can compromise the Complete server on which the application is deployed. Version 1.8.128 contains a patch for this issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"FreeScout OS Command Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-29185","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Slow String Operations via MultiPart Requests in Event-Driven Functions","id":"CVE-2024-29186"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"FreeScout Stored XSS to Privilege Escalation After CSP Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-29184"},"products":["freescout"],"published":"2024-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"FreeScout 1.8.206 Patch Bypass for CVE-2026-27636 via Zero-Width Space Character Leads to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-28289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"FreeScout's Predictable Authentication Token Enables Account Takeover","id":"CVE-2026-27637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"FreeScout: Stored XSS via Unescaped Email Template Rendering ({!! $thread-\u003ebody !!})","id":"CVE-2026-32754","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-19"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"FreeScout has Authentication Bypass and Information Disclosure in SystemController via /system/cron","id":"CVE-2026-40498","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FreeScout has Predictable Attachment Token that Allows Unauthenticated Private File Download via Brute Force","id":"CVE-2026-40496","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FreeScout: Missing .htaccess in Restricted File Extensions Allows Remote Code Execution on Apache","id":"CVE-2026-27636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-21","vendors":["freescout-helpdesk"]},"summary":"An attacker with the App_Key can execute arbitrary OS commands on the server via the php_path parameter, leading to full server compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-29185/"}
