Vulnerability Details
**Summary:** I hope you're well, Hackerone recently changed from Zendesk to Freshdesk , that introduced this vulnerability , This asset is not in scope but the reason I'm reporting this because of the severity of this vulnerability as this can cause high impact on integrity of support desk. **Description:** This vulnerability is similar to my previous finding [on Dropbox program](https://infosecwriteups.com/mail-server-misconfiguration-leads-to-sending-a-fax-from-anyones-account-on-hellofax-dropbox-bbp-aab3d97ab4e7?source=user_profile---------0----------------------------]) , So when we create a support ticket by sending email to [email protected] then it creates a support ticket on Hackerone Support portal on Victim's support center account , I found that we can create support ticket on anyone's by sending a fake email to [email protected] , by putting victim's email in `FROM` field. This would create a support ticket on victim's account , attacker can use this to create miscellaneous tickets on anyone's account or they can create ticket on behalf of **Hackerone** staff. You can check the ticket (441828) , I created this ticket by sending a fake email. We can use any fake emailer service for e.g https://emkei.cz/ ### Steps To Reproduce 1. Go to https://emkei.cz/ 2. Put victim's email in `From E-mail: ` field and [email protected] in `To:` field 3. Enter anything in name , content , subject and click Send ██████ * Now a ticket would be created on behalf of victim ## Impact * Using this bug an attacker can create miscellaneous tickets on behalf of victim or create unnecessary noise on victim's support desk account * Attacker can create internal ticket on behalf of HackerOne employees Best Regards **Sayaan Alam**
