~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
OTRS is a ticket management system.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"OTRS is one of the most flexible web-based ticketing systems used for
Customer Service, Help Desk, IT Service Management. With a fast
implementation and easy customization to your needs it helps you
reducing costs and increasing the efficiency and transparency of your

Due to insufficient checking of privileges, it is possible to access
the OTRS Install dialog of an already installed instance, which enables
an authenticated attacker to change the database settings, superuser
password, mail server settings, log file location and other parameters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
The recommended way to install OTRS is to use the installation dialog
found at http://vulnerablehost/otrs/
installation, OTRS prevents further use of this installer. Any
authenticated user can access the installation functionality of OTRS
by referencing the installer via a crafted url. The URLs that can be
used to access the installer can be one of the following:
* http://vulnerablehost/otrs/
* http://vulnerablehost/otrs/
* http://vulnerablehost/otrs/
* http://vulnerablehost/otrs/
At the end of each "installation" step, the user is redirected to the
start page. Therefore, the next step of the installation dialog must be
called directly using the Intro, Start (Database) or System subaction,
respectively.
By Using the installer tool, an attacker can change a variety of
parameters, including the superuser password, database settings, mail
server settings, log file location and instance ID.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
On a newly installed instance of OTRS, logged in as any valid user,
navigate to index.pl?Action=Installer;
database parameters or to index.pl?Action=Installer;
get a superuser password.
