An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-48480 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: freescout-help-desk 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-2025-48480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-48480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48480/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-48480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pfjf-43mp-3gp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeScout help desk","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authorized administrator can delete the .htaccess file by manipulating avatar paths, potentially exposing sensitive directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"business_logic"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"freescout","vendor":"freescout"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-841","name":"Improper Enforcement of Behavioral Workflow"}],"description":"FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox.
