Descriptions

Bugzilla 2.x through 4.0.x before 4.0.15, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4.6, and 4.5.x before 4.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive private-comment information by leveraging a role as a flag recipient, related to Bug.pm, Flag.pm, and a mail template.

Bugzilla 2.x hasta 4.0.x anterior a 4.0.15, 4.1.x y 4.2.x anterior a 4.2.11, 4.3.x y 4.4.x anterior a 4.4.6, y 4.5.x anterior a 4.5.6 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados obtener informaciĆ³n sensible de comentarios privados mediante el aprovechamiento de un rol como un recipiente de indicadores, relacionado con Bug.pm, Flag.pm, y una plantilla de correo.

If a new comment was marked private to the insider group, and a flag was set in the same transaction, the comment would be visible to flag recipients even if they were not in the insider group. An attacker creating a new Bugzilla account can override certain parameters when finalizing the account creation that can lead to the user being created with a different email address than originally requested. The overridden login name could be automatically added to groups based on the group's regular expression setting. During an audit of the Bugzilla code base, several places were found where cross-site scripting exploits could occur which could allow an attacker to access sensitive information.
