CVE-2026-65828: Zammad: Pending upload deletion bypass via legacy attachment endpoint
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: zammad zammad 7.1.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to zammad zammad 7.1.2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.1.2, the legacy destroy_form action on AttachmentsController deletes UploadCache Store records based solely on a user-supplied form_id without verifying that the requesting user owns those records. An authenticated attacker who learns another user's pending-upload UUID can silently remove temporary file uploads before the victim submits their ticket or article. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
