How to fix

Fixed in: 1.8.231

Technical details

The load_customer_info AJAX action fails to invoke CustomerPolicy::view() to verify authorization, instead checking only mailbox access with an attacker-supplied mailbox ID. A non-admin agent can craft requests using any accessible mailbox to retrieve arbitrary customer profiles via an email address lookup. The fix adds a proper authorization check via $user->can('view', $customer) before returning customer data.
