Synopsis
The remote web server is running a Perl application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the Best Practical Solutions Request Tracker (RT) running on the remote web server is version 3.x prior to 3.8.15 or version 4.x prior to 4.0.8. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :- Users can inject arbitrary headers into outgoing email provided they have ModifySelf or AdminUser privileges.
A remote attacker could exploit this to gain sensitive information or conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2012-4730)
- Any privileged user can create articles in any class due to the application failing to properly verify user access rights. (CVE-2012-4731)
- A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists that allows a remote attacker to hijack the authentication of users for requests that toggle ticket bookmarks.
(CVE-2012-4732)
- A warning bypass vulnerability exists that allows a 'confused deputy' attack during the handling of a specially crafted link. (CVE-2012-4734)
- A vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to send arbitrary arguments to the command line for the GnuPG client (if GnuPG is enabled), which could result in the creation of arbitrary files with the permissions of the web server. (CVE-2012-4884)
- Multiple vulnerabilities exist related to the improper signing or encryption of messages using GnuPG when GnuPG is enabled. (CVE-2012-6578, CVE-2012-6579, CVE-2012-6580, CVE-2012-6581)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
