Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Request Tracker (RT) 4.x before 4.2.12 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to the (1) user and (2) group rights management pages.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de XSS en Request Tracker (RT) en la versión 4.x y anteriores a 4.2.12, permite a atacantes remotos inyectar secuencias de comandos web o HTML arbitrarios a través de vectores relacionados con (1) el usuario o (2) páginas de gestión de derechos de grupo.

It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack via the user an group rights management pages and via the cryptography interface, allowing an attacker with a carefully-crafted key to inject JavaScript into RT's user interface. Installations which use neither GnuPG nor S/MIME are unaffected by the second cross-site scripting vulnerability.
