OTRS Email Body CVE-2012-4600 HTML Injection Vulnerability

OTRS is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

The following versions are vulnerable:

OTRS 2.4.x versions prior to 2.4.14
OTRS 3.0.x versions prior to 3.0.16
OTRS 3.1.x versions prior to 3.1.10
