Welcome to our detailed examination of the recent security vulnerabilities identified in Redmine, one of the most popular project management systems. This article will cover vulnerabilities under Debian Advisory DSA-5699-1, focusing on the importance of applying these updates immediately.
Redmine is a free and open-source project management tool which offers a multitude of features such as issue tracking, project wikis, forums, and time tracking. Being web-based, it's critical that security measures are always up-to-date to prevent any breaches.
CVE-2026-47258: This vulnerability is a newly discovered issue that allows cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This could potentially allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, leading to sensitive information theft or other malicious activities.
CVE-2026-47259: Found in earlier versions of Redmine (before 4.2.11 and 5.0.x before 5.0.6), this vulnerability is also an XSS issue, which again allows attackers to deliver malicious scripts via web pages.
CLU-2026-47260: Another critical XSS vulnerability that affects all versions of Redmine up to the latest patched versions under DSA-5699-1. Similar to the others, it allows execution of unauthorized script leading to compromised user data.
Cross-site scripting is one of the most common attacks against web applications, where attackers exploit vulnerabilities for executing scripts in the browser of an unsuspected user. This can be particularly devastating in applications like Redmine which handle sensitive project management information.
