Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-497.
Summary
OTRS versions 8.0.X, 2023.X, 2024.X, 2025.X and 2026.X before 2026.7.X allow the Agent Frontend configuration endpoint to be accessed without authentication. An unauthenticated remote attacker can retrieve internal configuration meant for authenticated agents, including frontend routes, authentication settings, enabled features and third-party integration settings. The exposed data contains no user credentials and does not allow changes to the configuration, but it can help an attacker fingerprint the installation and prepare further attacks (CWE-497).

Description from the CNA
The OTRS Agent Frontend configuration endpoint can be accessed without authentication. This allows unauthenticated remote users to retrieve internal application configuration that is intended for use by the authenticated Agent Frontend. The exposed information may include configured frontend routes and their associated authorization groups, authentication configuration, enabled product features, third-party integration settings, and other implementation details. The exposed configuration does not directly contain user credentials or provide unauthorized modification of the OTRS configuration. However, the disclosed information may assist an attacker in fingerprinting the affected OTRS installation and identifying enabled functionality or security-relevant configuration that could be used to prepare further attacks. This issue affects OTRS: * 8.0.X * 2023.X * 2024.X * 2025.X * 2026.X before 2026.7.X
