RT is an open source, enterprise-grade issue and ticket tracking system. Versions 5.0.0 and 6.0.0 and above, prior to both 5.0.10 and 6.0.3 contain a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability where uploaded content is served inline rather than as an attachment. An authenticated user who can upload content can include JavaScript in the upload that will execute in the browser session of any RT user who later views or downloads it. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.10 and 6.0.3.

The remote Fedora 43 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-04f78841ec advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8506-1 advisory.

    Aleksander Iwicki discovered that Request Tracker did not properly sanitize the search Page URL     parameter. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting     attack. (CVE-2026-6841)

    It was discovered that Request Tracker did not properly sanitize user- controlled data written to     spreadsheet exports of search results. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct a     spreadsheet (CSV/formula) injection attack, causing spreadsheet applications to interpret crafted values     as formulas or macros when the file is opened. (CVE-2026-41073)

    It was discovered that Request Tracker did not properly validate input incorporated into database queries     via the entry_aggregator parameter in JSON search. An authenticated user could possibly use this issue to     perform SQL injection attacks and read or modify data in the RT database. (CVE-2026-41075)

    It was discovered that Request Tracker contained an authentication bypass when configured to authenticate     users against an LDAP or Active Directory server. Under certain LDAP server configurations, a remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to authenticate as any LDAP-backed RT user without supplying valid     credentials. (CVE-2026-41076)

    It was discovered that Request Tracker served certain uploaded content inline rather than as an     attachment. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct a cross-site scripting attack.
    (CVE-2026-44229)

    It was discovered that Request Tracker did not properly sanitize input on search-results chart pages. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting attack.
    (CVE-2026-44230)

    Jeroen Gui discovered that Request Tracker did not properly restrict access to the REST 2.0 user     collection endpoint. A privileged user could possibly use this issue to obtain authentication credentials     belonging to other users, including administrators, resulting in privilege escalation and information     disclosure. (CVE-2026-44231)
