What it is

FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.180, an authorized user with the administrator role or with the privilege User::PERM_EDIT_USERS can create a user, specifying the path to the user's avatar ../.htaccess during creation, and then delete the user's avatar, resulting in the deletion of the file .htaccess in the folder /storage/app/public. This issue has been patched in version 1.8.180.
