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-2026-34442 exists.\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-2026-34442/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34442/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-34442","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34442/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-34442","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-822g-7rw5-53xj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeScout help desk","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can manipulate the Host header to redirect users to malicious domains or load external resources, potentially leading to phishing or data exposure.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"open_redirect"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"freescout","vendor":"freescout"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-601","name":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site"},{"id":"CWE-829","name":"Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"FreeScout is a free help desk and shared inbox built with PHP's Laravel framework. Prior to version 1.8.211, host header manipulation in FreeScout version (http://localhost:8080/system/status) allows an attacker to inject an arbitrary domain into generated absolute URLs. This leads to External Resource Loading and Open Redirect behavior. When the application constructs links and assets using the unvalidated Host header, user requests can be redirected to attacker-controlled domains and external resources may be loaded from malicious servers. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.211.","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: Host Header Injection Leading to External Resource Loading and Open Redirect in FreeScout","id":"CVE-2026-34442","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"open_redirect","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"FreeScout: SSRF protection bypass via broken CIDR check in checkIpByMask()","id":"CVE-2026-34443"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"cpp-httplib: HTTP Request Smuggling via Unconsumed GET Request Body","id":"CVE-2026-34441"},"products":["freescout"],"published":"2026-03-31","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":"2026-04-01","vendors":["freescout-help-desk"]},"summary":"Attackers can manipulate the Host header to redirect users to malicious domains or load external resources, potentially leading to phishing or data exposure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34442/"}
