Lifecycle Updates

RT 5.0.6 included some updates to RT internals to make lifecycles easier
to configure and manage. Once RT 5.0.6 was released and users started testing
with more complicated existing lifecycles, some bugs were discovered. The
following bugs are addressed in RT 5.0.7.

• Merge existing lifecycle mapping configuration on save. Previously, in some
  cases, existing mappings would be incorrectly deleted.

• Restore loading lifecycle configuration from files and add a message to
  admins to remove config files to delete. The previous change was introduced
  to allow lifecycles to be deleted, but it also impacted loading new lifecycle
  configurations from files, like when installing an extension. Now admins will be
  warned on delete if a lifecycle is being loaded from a file on disk.

Additional Updates

• On the queue admin page, warn if queue addresses are the same as a user address
• In the reports menu, retain the desired order when adding reports
• Prevent Show/Hide "quoted text"/"full description" click events from propagating
• Tweak lifecycle delete button text to make it more clear it deletes the lifecycle
• Document db configs and also the merge behavior of hash configs
• Correct POD warnings in Config docs
• Avoid reloading configs multiple times on configuration content update
• Remove duplicate CLI options
• Do not cast as decimal if using "LIKE" operator for numeric custom fields
• Update the attribute of CustomFieldView to be the same as CustomField

RT 5.0.6 -- 2024-05-06

included with this release is below. In addition to a batch of

Strict Browser Cache Configuration Option

CVE-2024-3262 describes previously viewed pages being stored in the
browser cache, which is the typical default behavior of most browsers to
enable the "back" button. Someone who gains access to a host computer could
potentially view ticket data using the back button, even after logging out
of RT. The CVE specifically references RT version 4.4.1, but this behavior
is present in most browsers viewing all versions of RT before 5.0.6.

RT 5.0.6 adds a new configuration option, $WebStrictBrowserCache, which
instructs the browser not to cache page content from RT. If you run RT,
including RTIR, with highly sensitive ticket data, you can enable this new
option to prevent browser caching. The default is still disabled, to
allow for normal browser functionality, so you need to enable this option
to run with the new feature.

Security

The following security issues are fixed in this release. Thanks to
Tom Wolters of Chapter8 and the National Cyber Security Centre in
The Netherlands for reporting the the first two findings.

• RT is vulnerable to accepting unvalidated RT email headers in
  incoming email and the mail-gateway REST interface. This vulnerability
  is assigned CVE-2023-41259.

• RT is vulnerable to information leakage via response messages returned
  from requests sent via the mail-gateway REST interface. This vulnerability
  is assigned CVE-2023-41260.

Related to the above, in addition to upgrading to this new version, access
to the mail-gateway REST endpoint can, and in most cases should, be restricted
to only the RT server itself (localhost). This access restriction can typically
be applied in the web server running with your RT (Apache or other). This
configuration is more clearly documented as part of this release and we recommend
all RT admins review your web server configuration and consider restricting access
to this mail-gateway REST endpoint.

• RT 5.0 is vulnerable to information leakage via transaction searches made by
  authenticated users in the transaction query builder. This vulnerability is
  assigned CVE-2023-45024. Thanks to edk and bakerst of Libera Chat for reporting
  this finding.

• RT 5.0 can reveal information about data on various RT objects in errors and
  other response messages to REST 2 requests.

Security

Security

The following security issues are fixed in this release. Thanks to the
Polish Financial Supervision Authority IT Security Department (UKNF)
for reporting the first two issues below.

• RT is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) when displaying
  attachment content with fraudulent content types. This vulnerability
  is assigned CVE-2022-25802.

• RT 5.0 is vulnerable to unvalidated, or open, redirects in ticket
  searches. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2022-25803.

• RT did not perform full rights checks on accesses to file or image type
  custom fields, possibly allowing access to these custom fields by users
  without rights to access to the associated objects (like the ticket it
  is associated with).

As an additional security note, RT 5.0.3 also updates jQuery to
version 3.6.0 and that includes a security fix (CVE-2020-11022).

Security

• In previous versions, RT's native login system is vulnerable to user enumeration
  through a timing side-channel attack. This means an external entity could try to
  find valid usernames by attempting logins and comparing the time to evaluate each
  login attempt for valid and invalid usernames. This vulnerability does not allow any
  access to the RT system. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2021-38562 and is fixed
  in this release.

• RT uses the chart.js package and the previous version has vulnerabilities
  described here: https://snyk.io/test/npm/chart.js/2.8.0 This RT release updates
  chart.js to version 2.9.4 as recommended in that advisory.

Security:

• In previous versions, RT's native login system is vulnerable to user enumeration
  through a timing side-channel attack. This means an external entity could try to
  find valid usernames by attempting logins and comparing the time to evaluate each
  login attempt for valid and invalid usernames. This vulnerability does not allow any
  access to the RT system. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2021-38562 and is fixed
  in this release.

Updates:

• Remove search string including numbers in ticket autocomplete search on select
• Use the correct CurrentUserCanSetOwner return value.
• Find full path for processing acl files on upgrade
• Find full path for processing index files on upgrade
• Convert to abs path before executing initialdata files
• Remove extra closing div on Login/Logout pages
