Overview

CVE-2026-41190 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 21, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.215, when `APP_SHOW_ONLY_ASSIGNED_CONVERSATIONS` is enabled, direct conversation view correctly blocks users who are neither the assignee nor the creator. The `save_draft` AJAX path is weaker. A direct POST can create a draft inside a conversation that is hidden in the UI. Version 1.8.215 fixes the vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
