RT is an open source, enterprise-grade issue and ticket tracking system. Versions 5.0.9 and prior in addition to 6.0.0 through 6.0.2 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in RT installations that use LDAP/AD for user authentication. Under certain LDAP server configurations, an attacker may be able to authenticate as any LDAP-backed RT user without supplying valid credentials. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.10 and 6.0.3. If developers are unable to upgrade immediately, they can temporarily work around this issue by reviewing their LDAP server's authentication policy to ensure it rejects unauthenticated bind attempts. Upgrading RT remains the recommended fix.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Best Practical's Request Tracker (RT) versions 5.0.9 and prior, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.2, allows remote attackers to log in as any LDAP-backed user without valid credentials when RT is configured with LDAP or Active Directory authentication and the LDAP server accepts unauthenticated bind requests. The flaw, fixed in RT 5.0.10 and 6.0.3 released 2026-05-20, carries a CVSS 8.1 and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bypass against vulnerable LDAP policies makes it high-priority for any RT deployment using directory-based auth.
