Description
A vulnerability has been reported in OTRS Help Desk, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed within HTML e-mail messages is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation requires that the victim user is running Firefox or Opera.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.4.14, 3.0.16, and 3.1.10.


Solution
Update to version 2.4.14, 3.0.16, or 3.1.10.
