Francesco Sirocco discovered a flaw in otrs2, the Open Ticket Request System, which could result in session information disclosure when cookie support is disabled. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to take over an agent's session if the agent is tricked into clicking a link in a specially crafted mail.
