An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-34697 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-2024-34697/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34697/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-34697","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34697/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-34697","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-985r-6qfc-hg8m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Help desk software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious HTML into received emails, enabling data exfiltration or defacement in FreeScout help desk.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"freescout","vendor":"freescout"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"FreeScout is a free, self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. A stored HTML Injection vulnerability has been identified in the Email Receival Module of the Freescout Application. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious HTML content into emails sent to the application's mailbox. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of HTML content within incoming emails, allowing attackers to embed malicious HTML code in the context of the application's domain. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious HTML content into emails. This could lead to various attacks such as form hijacking, application defacement, or data exfiltration via CSS injection. Although unauthenticated attackers are limited to HTML injection, the consequences can still be severe. Version 1.8.139 implements strict input validation and sanitization mechanisms to ensure that any HTML content received via emails is properly sanitized to prevent malicious HTML injections.","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 vulnerable to Stored HTML Injection in Editing Received Emails","id":"CVE-2024-34697","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Prototype Pollution in getQueryParam Function (URL Query Parser)","id":"CVE-2024-34698"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GeoServer's Server Status shows sensitive environmental variables and Java properties","id":"CVE-2024-34696"},"products":["freescout"],"published":"2024-05-13","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":9.1,"headline":"FreeScout OS Command Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-29185","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-22"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["freescout-helpdesk"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious HTML into received emails, enabling data exfiltration or defacement in FreeScout help desk.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34697/"}
