NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream request-tracker4 package and not the request-tracker4 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The vulnerable-passwords script in Best Practical Solutions RT 3.x before 3.8.12 and 4.x before 4.0.6 does not update the password-hash algorithm for disabled user accounts, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine cleartext passwords, and possibly use these passwords after accounts are re-enabled, via a brute-force attack on the database. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-0009.
