Summary
It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack via the user and group rights management pages (CVE-2015-5475 ) and via the cryptography interface, allowing an attacker with a carefully-crafted key to inject JavaScript into RT's user interface. Installations which use neither GnuPG nor S/MIME are unaffected by the second cross-site scripting vulnerability.
