The Flag::validate and Flag::modify functions in Bugzilla 2.17.1 to 2.18.1 and 2.19.1 to 2.19.3 do not verify that the flag ID is appropriate for the given bug or attachment ID, which allows users to change flags on arbitrary bugs and obtain a bug summary via process_bug.cgi.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Bugzilla flaw lets a Bugzilla user change workflow flags on bugs or attachments they should not be able to affect. It may also reveal a bug summary through process_bug.cgi. The business risk is integrity and limited information exposure in Bugzilla tracking data, especially where confidential issues or release decisions depend on flags. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running the listed legacy Bugzilla versions, especially instances with user accounts that can access process_bug.cgi. Internet-facing or partner-accessible trackers increase business relevance. Prioritize remediation if Bugzilla is still used for confidential security issues, release gating, customer data, or partner-facing workflows. For modern environments without these legacy versions, this is mainly an inventory cleanup item. Mitigation focus: Inventory Bugzilla instances and versions against the affected ranges.; Review the Bugzilla security advisory for exact fixed releases and upgrade guidance.; Restrict Bugzilla access to trusted users until fixed or retired..
