⚠️ An access control issue in Zammad v5.0.3 allows unauthorized users to add entries to the CTI caller log—no password required! It's like letting random people leave notes on your office whiteboard without asking. 🤔 Think of it as a guest booking a room in a hotel but being able to change the reservation details without any verification! The hotel management has no idea who’s making changes, which can lead to chaos or worse—unwelcome guests showing up at the front desk. Without proper authentication, a crafty attacker could manipulate the caller log, leading to phishing attacks or even a Denial of Service (DoS) scenario. Imagine the flood of mischief when the logs are filled with fake entries, disrupting the system's functionality and potentially ruining the day for legitimate users!
