# Trudesk: authenticated users can forge comments and tickets as other users

Trudesk through 1.2.11 accepts a user-supplied owner ID when posting comments, internal notes, and tickets. An authenticated user can therefore publish content that appears to come from another user, including administrators.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Trudesk version against the release list; versions through `1.2.11` are affected.
- Review whether the postComment, postInternalNote and ticket create endpoints accept an ownerId or owner field from the client.

## Fix

- unknown

## From the sources

Trudesk through 1.2.11 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated users to post content attributed to other users by supplying user-controlled owner IDs. Attackers can set ownerId or owner in postComment, postInternalNote, and ticket create requests to forge administrator-authored comments, internal notes, and tickets on any ticket.
