CVE-2026-93483: Znuny HTTPBasicAuth header spoofing authentication bypass

CVE-2026-93483 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-15

Znuny is a ticket management and helpdesk system used by organizations to track support requests and customer interactions. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to any user account, including administrator accounts, by forging a single HTTP request header, without needing a password. This allows an attacker to impersonate users, access confidential support tickets, and modify system settings.

Technical details

The HTTPBasicAuth authentication modules (for both agent and customer interfaces) trust the HTTP_REMOTE_USER header as a fallback for the username when the primary $ENV{REMOTE_USER} variable is unavailable. An attacker can forge the "Remote-User" request header to impersonate any existing user on systems configured to use HTTPBasicAuth for authentication. This is a header spoofing vulnerability requiring only network access and no user interaction or credentials.
