USN-8506-1: Request Tracker vulnerabilities

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)
