Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Zammad 是一款基于 Web 的开源帮助台/客户支持系统。在版本 7.0.2 之前,存在一个未认证请求可导致服务阻塞的安全漏洞。向 发起未认证请求时,会阻塞 Zammad 的请求工作进程约两分钟。 和 操作缺少其他同控制器操作中使用的 防护机制,因此它们会在已完全配置的生产环境中直接执行。该操作会针对一个空白的 OTRS 端点进入重试循环,并在每次尝试之间分别休眠 30 秒和 45 秒。 影响:未认证的远程攻击者可导致生产环境的 Zammad 实例发生拒绝服务(DoS)。每个请求几乎不消耗资源,但会强制在服务器

Vulnerability Title
Zammad: Denial of Service via OTRS Import Controller
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Zammad is a web based open source helpdesk/customer support system. Prior to 7.0.2, summary An unauthenticated request to POST /api/v1/import/otrs/import_check blocks a Zammad request worker for roughly two minutes. The import_check and import_status actions are missing the setup_done_response guard that other actions in the same controller carry, so they execute on fully set-up production instances. The action enters a retry loop against a blank OTRS endpoint, sleeping for 30 s + 45 s between attempts. Impact An unauthenticated remote attacker denies service to a production Zammad instance. Each request costs almost nothing and forces ~115 seconds of server-side blocking. A few requests per second saturate the Puma worker pool. The condition persists as long as the traffic continues. No account, valid import configuration, or target knowledge beyond the hostname is needed. CSRF token is trivially obtained from any prior GET response. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.
