    Version        : 4.4.4+dfsg-2+deb11u5
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-61873


    It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket
    tracking system, is prone to a CSV injection via ticket values with
    special characters that are exported to a TSV from search results.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    4.4.4+dfsg-2+deb11u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your request-tracker4 packages.

    For the detailed security status of request-tracker4 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/request-tracker4

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
