    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in otrs2, the Open-Source Ticket     Request System, which could lead to impersonation, denial of service,     information disclosure, or execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2019-11358

        A Prototype Pollution vulnerability was discovered in OTRS' embedded         jQuery 3.2.1 copy, which could allow sending drafted messages as         wrong agent.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-05.

    CVE-2019-12248

        Matthias Terlinde discovered that when an attacker sends a malicious         email to an OTRS system and a logged in agent user later quotes it,         the email could cause the browser to load external image resources.

        A new configuration setting Ticket::Frontend::BlockLoadingRemoteContent         has been added as part of the fix.  It controls whether external         content should be loaded, and it is disabled by default.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-08.

    CVE-2019-12497

        Jens Meister discovered that in the customer or external frontend,         personal information of agents, like Name and mail address in         external notes, could be disclosed.

        New configuration settings Ticket::Frontend::CustomerTicketZoom###DisplayNoteFrom         has been added as part of the fix.  It controls if agent information         should be displayed in external note sender field, or be substituted         with a different generic name.  Another option named         Ticket::Frontend::CustomerTicketZoom###DefaultAgentName can then         be used to define the generic agent name used in the latter case.
        By default, previous behavior is preserved, in which agent         information is divulged in the external note From field, for the         sake of backwards compatibility.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-09.

    CVE-2019-12746

        A user logged into OTRS as an agent might unknowingly disclose their         session ID by sharing the link of an embedded ticket article with         third parties.  This identifier can be then potentially abused in         order to impersonate the agent user.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-10.

    CVE-2019-13458

        An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an agent user with         appropriate permissions can leverage OTRS tags in templates in order         to disclose hashed user passwords.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-12.

    CVE-2019-16375

        An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an agent or customer user         with appropriate permissions can create a carefully crafted string         containing malicious JavaScript code as an article body.  This         malicious code is executed when an agent compose an answer to the         original article.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-13.

    CVE-2019-18179

        An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an agent is able to list         tickets assigned to other agents, which are in the queue where         attacker doesn't have permissions.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-14.

    CVE-2019-18180

        OTRS can be put into an endless loop by providing filenames with         overly long extensions.  This applies to the PostMaster (sending in         email) and also upload (attaching files to mails, for example).

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2019-15.

    CVE-2020-1765

        Sebastian Renker and Jonas Becker discovered an improper control of         parameters, which allows the spoofing of the From fields in several         screens, namely AgentTicketCompose, AgentTicketForward,         AgentTicketBounce and AgentTicketEmailOutbound.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-01.

    CVE-2020-1766

        Anton Astaf'ev discovered that due to improper handling of uploaded         images, it is possible  in very unlikely and rare conditions  to         force the agents browser to execute malicious JavaScript from a         special crafted SVG file rendered as inline jpg file.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-02.

    CVE-2020-1767

        Agent A is able to save a draft (i.e., for customer reply).  Then         Agent B can open the draft, change the text completely and send it         in the name of Agent A.  For the customer it will not be visible         that the message was sent by another agent.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-03.

    CVE-2020-1769

        Martin Mller discovered that in the login screens (in agent and         customer interface), Username and Password fields use autocomplete,         which might be considered as security issue.

        A new configuration setting DisableLoginAutocomplete has been         added as part of the fix.  It controls whether to disable         autocompletion in the login forms, by setting the         autocomplete=off attribute to the login input fields.  Note that         some browsers ignore it by default (usually it can be changed in the         browser configuration).

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-06.

    CVE-2020-1770

        Matthias Terlinde discovered that the support bundle generated files         could contain sensitive information, such as user credentials.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-07.

    CVE-2020-1771

        Christoph Wuetschne discovered that an attacker is able craft an         article with a link to the customer address book with malicious         content (JavaScript).  When agent opens the link, JavaScript code is         executed due to the missing parameter encoding.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-08.

    CVE-2020-1772

        Fabian Henneke discovered that it is possible to craft Lost Password         requests with wildcards in the Token value, which allows an attacker         to retrieve valid Token(s), generated by users which already         requested new passwords.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-09.

    CVE-2020-1773

        Fabian Henneke discovered that an attacker with the ability to         generate session IDs or password reset tokens, either by being able         to authenticate or by exploiting CVE-2020-1772, may be able to         predict other users session IDs, password reset tokens and         automatically generated passwords.

        The fix adds libmath-random-secure-perl to otrs2's Depends:.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-10.

    CVE-2020-1774

        When a user downloads PGP or S/MIME keys/certificates, exported file         has same name for private and public keys.  It is therefore possible         to mix them and to send private key to the third-party instead of         public key.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-11.

    CVE-2020-1776

        When an agent user is renamed or set to invalid the session         belonging to the user is keept active.  The session can not be used         to access ticket data in the case the agent is invalid.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-13.

    CVE-2020-11022

        Masato Kinugawa discovered a Potential XSS vulnerability in OTRS'         embedded jQuery 3.2.1's htmlPrefilter and related methods.

        The fix requires patching embedded copies of fullcalendar (3.4.0),         fullcalendar-scheduler (1.6.2) and spectrum (1.8.0).

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2020-14.

    CVE-2021-21439

        A Denial of Service (DoS) attack can be performed when an email         contains specially designed URL in the body.  It can lead to the         high CPU usage and cause low quality of service, or in extreme case         bring the system to a halt.

        This vulnerability is also known as OSA-2021-09 or ZSA-2021-03.

    CVE-2021-21440
