Gavin Shelley reported that Bugzilla allows certain operations to be performed via HTTP GET and HTTP POST requests without verifying those requests properly (CVE-2006-5455).

Impact :

An attacker could inject scripts into the content loaded by a user's browser in order to have those scripts executed in a user's browser in the context of the site currently being viewed. This could include gaining access to privileged session information for the site being viewed. Additionally, a user could forge an HTTP request in order to create, modify, or delete bugs within a Bugzilla instance. Lastly, an unauthorized user could view sensitive information about bugs or bug attachments.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
