Vulnerability Details=0D
======================0D
=0D
Class:       Unauthorized Bug Change=0D
Versions:    3.1.3=0D
Description: Users normally need the "canconfirm" privilege to put bugs=0D
             in the NEW or ASSIGNED state. However, users were being =0D
             allowed to create bugs in the NEW or ASSIGNED state if they=0D
             were creating the bug through the XML-RPC interface.=0D

=0D
=0D
Class:       Cross-Site Scripting=0D
Versions:    2.17.2 and higher=0D
Description: When using the "Format for Printing" view of a bug (or=0D
             the "Long Format" of a bug list, which is the same thing),=0D
             there was a cross-site scripting hole--arbitrary text=0D
             from a particular URL parameter could be injected into the=0D
             page without filtering.=0D

=0D
=0D
Class:       Account Impersonation (Minor)=0D
Versions:    2.23.4 and higher=0D
Description: By design, email_in.pl always believes the "From" header as=0D
             the user making changes or uses that as the reporter of the=0D
             bug. However, you could also specify the changer/reporter in=0D
             the body of the email and override the "From" header, possibly=0D
             bypassing some security checks set up by administrators=0D
             against the "From" header.=0D
             For most installations this is a minor or inconsequential=0D
             issue, as the documentation of email_in.pl already explains=0D
             that it does not do any user authentication (it just=0D
             believes the "From" header), so installations using it should=0D
             not have been expecting user account security (though they=0D
             may have had checks against the "From" header--that is what=0D
             makes this a security issue).=0D
