CVE-2010-2756
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSearch.pm in Bugzilla 2.19.1 through 3.2.7, 3.3.1 through 3.4.7, 3.5.1 through 3.6.1, and 3.7 through 3.7.2 allows remote attackers to determine the group memberships of arbitrary users via vectors involving the Search interface, boolean charts, and group-based pronouns.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSearch.pm in Bugzilla contains an information disclosure vulnerability allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to determine group memberships of arbitrary users through the Search interface by manipulating boolean charts and group-based pronouns.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Bugzilla versionLocate the version file in your Bugzilla installation - typically Bugzilla/VERSION file or check the version reported on the Bugzilla homepage or admin interfaceAffected if The installed version is one of: 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, 2.19.1, 2.19.2, 2.19.3, 2.20, 2.20.1, 2.20.2, or 2.20.3
-
Locate Search.pm fileFind Search.pm in your Bugzilla installation directory, typically under Bugzilla/Search.pmAffected if The Search.pm file exists and its modification date corresponds to an unpatched installation
-
Verify search interface is accessibleAttempt to access the Bugzilla search interface without authentication - try visiting the search URL endpointAffected if The search interface is accessible to unauthenticated users without requiring login
-
Check group-based pronoun featureInspect Bugzilla configuration parameters for group-based pronouns or examine whether group visibility can be queried through the search boolean chart interfaceAffected if Group membership information can be inferred through manipulated search queries using boolean charts and group pronouns
You are affected if your Bugzilla version matches the affected list AND the search interface with boolean charts is accessible to users who should not see group membership details.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Bugzilla to a patched version (3.2.8, 3.4.8, 3.6.2, or 3.7.3 or later) or apply the vendor patch to Search.pm to prevent group membership enumeration via search queries.
