Security readout for executives and security teams
This flaw affects older Best Practical RT ticketing systems only when external custom fields are enabled. An authenticated user could cause arbitrary code execution, with CSRF cited as a demonstration path. For organizations still running these versions, treat it as a serious legacy application risk. Exposure is likely limited to legacy RT deployments on the listed versions with CustomFieldValuesSources, also called external custom fields, enabled. Internet-facing or broadly accessible ticketing systems increase business impact. Prioritize remediation if RT is still running these legacy versions, especially if it supports sensitive workflows. The business concern is server-side code execution from an authenticated or CSRF-assisted path, not just ticket data exposure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RT 3.8.x systems using Best Practical's 3.8.10 security release guidance.; For 4.0.0 release candidates, follow Best Practical's security advisory before production use.; Identify and review any enabled CustomFieldValuesSources configuration..
