The email sender needs to be spoofed in order to add the CC.
1. Apple sends a legitimate email with a verification code from appleid@id.apple.com to support@company.com, creating a ticket in Zendesk.
2. The attacker then sends an email to support-$ticket-ID@company.com from appleid@id.apple.com (spoofed), attaching their own email address in the CC field.
3. Since the attacker is now CC'ed they can read the entire history of the ticket including the legitimate email Apple sent in (1) containing the verification code.
4. Now that the attacker has verified ownership of the Apple ID with the email address support@company.com they can use that Apple ID to login to any service that grants domain-based access via Sign in With Apple, such as Slack.
