FreeScout: User Account Enumeration via Password Reset Response Differentiation

Published May 29, 2026 · Updated Jun 2, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

FreeScout is a free help desk and shared inbox built with PHP's Laravel framework. Prior to 1.8.219, the password reset endpoint returns visually distinct responses depending on whether the submitted email address belongs to an existing user account, allowing unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid helpdesk agent email addresses. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.219.
