Summary

The (1) AgentInterface and (2) CustomerInterface components in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 3.0.6 place cleartext credentials into the session data in the database, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading the _UserLogin and _UserPW fields.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
