Request Tracker is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the "Page" parameter in GET requests. An attacker can craft a URL that, when opened, results in arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim’s browser. This vulnerability affects versions from 5.0.4 up to 5.0.9 and from 6.0.0 up to 6.0.2.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6327 advisory.
