Best Practical Solutions RT 3.8.x before 3.8.15 and 4.0.x before 4.0.8, when GnuPG is enabled with a "Sign by default" queue configuration, uses a queue's key for signing, which might allow remote attackers to spoof messages by leveraging the lack of authentication semantics.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects older RT helpdesk systems where GnuPG signing is enabled and queues are configured to sign by default. RT may sign messages using the queue key without conveying proper authentication meaning, creating a spoofing risk. The main business concern is trust in signed ticket correspondence from affected queues. Exposure is limited to RT deployments on affected versions that have GnuPG enabled and queues configured with “Sign by default.” Organizations not using RT, not using GnuPG in RT, or already on RT 3.8.15, 4.0.8, or later are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for legacy RT systems rather than an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize if signed RT email is used for approvals, customer communications, or operational decisions. No active exploitation is supported by the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RT 3.8.x deployments to 3.8.15 or later.; Upgrade RT 4.0.x deployments to 4.0.8 or later.; Prioritize queues using GnuPG with “Sign by default.”.
