CVE-2026-41075: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in bestpractical rt
RT is an open source, enterprise-grade issue and ticket tracking system. Versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.9 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.2 contain an SQL injection vulnerability. An authenticated user can craft input that is incorporated into database queries without proper validation, potentially allowing them to read or modify data in the RT database. 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 restricting RT account access to trusted users.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-41075 affects bestpractical's RT product, where versions 5.0.0 to 5.0.9 and 6.0.0 to 6.0.2 contain an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89). This occurs because user input is not properly neutralized before being used in SQL commands, allowing authenticated users to manipulate database queries. The vulnerability enables potential unauthorized reading and modification of the RT database. Official fixes are available in versions 5.0.10 and 6.0.3. Temporary mitigation involves restricting access to trusted users until upgrades can be applied.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to read or modify sensitive data within the RT database. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 indicates high severity with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could lead to significant data compromise or disruption of the ticket tracking system.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in RT versions 5.0.10 and 6.0.3. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. If immediate upgrading is not feasible, restrict RT account access to trusted users as a temporary workaround.
