Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-114400 affects Trudesk through version 1.2.11. The vulnerability arises from the way the Express.js static middleware serves the public directory before the uploads directory, which is protected by an authentication guard. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication and download private ticket attachments by guessing or knowing the ticket ObjectId and filename under the /uploads path.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can access and download confidential ticket attachments, potentially exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2, indicating a network attack vector with low complexity and no user interaction required. The impact is limited to confidentiality loss of private attachments.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the uploads directory or implement additional authentication controls to prevent unauthorized access to private attachments.
