FreeScout: User Account Enumeration via Password Reset Response Differentiation

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 11.05.2026 Published: 29.05.2026 Updated: 29.05.2026

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.
