SCA: security update for github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk (GHSA-wh6m-h6f4-rjf4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436459

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Libredesk is a self-hosted customer support desk. Prior to version 0.8.6-beta, LibreDesk is vulnerable to
 stored HTML injection in the contact notes feature. When adding notes via POST
 /api/v1/contacts/{id}/notes, the backend automatically wraps user input in <p> tags. However, by
 intercepting the request and removing the <p> tag, an attacker can inject arbitrary HTML elements such as
 forms and images, which are then stored and rendered without proper sanitization. This can lead to
 phishing, CSRF-style forced actions, and UI redress attacks. This issue has been patched in version
 0.8.6-beta. (CVE-2025-68927)
