Vulnerability Descriptions****Multiple Vulnerabilities
The Zammad front end can communicate with the server bi-directionally through a web socket connection or via AJAX. An attacker could send a specially crafted message to the server, causing this message to be sent to all active front ends, which would then react to the payload. This would enable the attacker to abuse their session to perform malicious changes in their front end (Remote Code Execution) and (with their permission set) also on the server (Privilege Escalation).
