Finds placeholder injection flaws in support portals that let attackers extract other users’ data by sending crafted tickets to Zendesk-backed APIs. Tests use GitHub Enterprise code, Zendesk Liquid templates and GraphQL mutation calls to the tickets API vs request API and exploit {{ticket.requester.email}} and CCs array rendering and for‑loop expansion. GitHub is patient zero; admin‑level ticket endpoints autofill internal emails, comments and agent fields. A third‑party integration impacts roughly 100–250 companies (vendor has ~6,000 customers). Zendesk exploits work immediately; Salesforce requires an agent reply.
