CVE-2026-41076 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability allowing authentication bypass has been identified in Request Tracker (RT) versions 5.0.9 and prior, as well as 6.0.0 through 6.0.2, when LDAP or Active Directory is used for user authentication. Under certain LDAP server configurations, an attacker could authenticate as any LDAP-backed RT user without valid credentials.
Users are advised to upgrade to RT version 5.0.10 or 6.0.3. For those unable to upgrade immediately, a temporary workaround is to review the LDAP server's authentication policy to ensure it rejects unauthenticated bind attempts.
