CVE-2026-63206

MediumCVSS 5.3
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Zammad prior to 7.1.2, the HTML sanitizer blocking remote images in ticket articles and email views can be bypassed using a shortened URL format that omits the double slash after the scheme. Modern browsers treat both forms as equivalent, so a crafted email or ticket can silently load an image from an external server.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can determine when and by whom a ticket was opened, which is a privacy breach and can support further targeted attacks.

Recommendation

Upgrade Zammad to version 7.1.2 or later so the sanitizer correctly recognizes shortened URL forms as remote.

Original NVD description (English source)

Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, zammad's HTML sanitizer, which blocks remote images in ticket articles and email views, can be bypassed using a shortened URL format that omits the double slash after the scheme (for example a shortened HTTP URL instead of a shortened HTTP URL). Modern browsers treat both forms as equivalent remote URLs. As a result, an attacker who sends a crafted email or ticket can cause the recipient's browser to silently load an image from an external server, revealing when and by whom the ticket was opened. Zammad's "remote content blocked" warning is not shown because the sanitizer does not recognize the shortened form as remote. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
