Technical details
A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in RT versions 6.0.0 through 6.0.2. The flaw is located in the handling of additional URL parameters on search pages, where user-supplied input is insufficiently sanitized before being rendered in the web interface. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL and using social engineering to entice an authenticated RT user to click it. Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized state-changing actions. The issue is resolved in version 6.0.3.
