AI-suggested
Upgrade FreeScout to version 1.8.215 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by properly enforcing access restrictions on all query paths including global search and AJAX filters. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the vendor has released version 1.8.215 that addresses this issue, so applying this update is the recommended remediation.
Description
FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.215, the assigned-only restriction is applied to direct conversation view and folder queries, but not to non-folder query builders. Global search and the AJAX filter path still reveal conversations that should be hidden. Version 1.8.215 fixes the vulnerability.
