CVE-2022-32739
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 · uneditedWhen Secure::DisableBanner system configuration has been disabled and agent shares his calendar via public URL, received ICS file contains OTRS release number.
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 confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in OTRS where the software release number is leaked into ICS calendar files when shared via public URL. When the Secure::DisableBanner system configuration is disabled, the ICS export includes the OTRS version information, which could aid attackers in reconnaissance to identify specific vulnerable versions.

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 installed OTRS versionAccess the admin panel and navigate to 'Admin' > 'System Administration' > 'System Information' or check the kernel/VERSION.pm file in the OTRS installation directory. Alternatively, run: grep -r 'VERSION' /opt/otrs/Kernel/VERSION.pm 2>/dev/null or check the About page in the web interface.Affected if The installed version is 7.0.0 through 7.0.34, 7.0.36 through 7.0.39 (for Otrs), 7.0.0 through 7.0.30 (for Otrs Calendar Resource Planning), 8.0.0 through 8.0.22, or any 8.0.x version before 8.0.23 for either product.
-
Verify Secure::DisableBanner configurationIn the OTRS admin interface, go to 'Admin' > 'System Administration' > 'System Configuration' and search for 'Secure::DisableBanner'. Alternatively, check the Config.pm file or export the configuration setting using the admin console command: /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.Console.pl Admin::Config::List --filter Secure::DisableBannerAffected if The Secure::DisableBanner setting is set to 'No', 'False', or is unset (default), indicating the version banner is displayed in ICS exports.
-
Test ICS calendar export for version leakageGenerate a public calendar export URL for any calendar event or resource. Export the calendar as ICS format using the public share feature. Open the exported .ics file in a text editor and search for 'OTRS', 'Version', or product name strings.Affected if The ICS file contains comments, headers, or fields that reveal the OTRS version number (such as X-Generated-By: OTRS 7.x.x or similar version disclosure).
You are affected if your OTRS version falls within the vulnerable ranges AND the Secure::DisableBanner setting is disabled or unset, AND your ICS calendar exports contain version information that could aid reconnaissance.

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.
dbcve · scoped7.0.317.0.358.0.23
Enable the Secure::DisableBanner system configuration setting to prevent release number disclosure, or apply vendor patch to modify ICS generation to exclude version information from calendar exports.
OTRS 7.0.x → 7.0.35 | OTRS 8.0.x → 8.0.23 | Calendar Resource Planning 7.0.x → 7.0.31 | Calendar Resource Planning 8.0.x → 8.0.23
- 1. Identify the currently installed OTRS or Calendar Resource Planning version using the admin dashboard or system information.
- 2. For OTRS 7.0.x users: Upgrade to OTRS 7.0.35 or later.
- 3. For OTRS 8.0.x users: Upgrade to OTRS 8.0.23 or later.
- 4. For Calendar Resource Planning 7.0.x users: Upgrade to version 7.0.31 or later.
- 5. For Calendar Resource Planning 8.0.x users: Upgrade to version 8.0.23 or later.
- 6. After upgrade, verify the fix by generating a public calendar URL and exporting the ICS file to confirm no version information is included.
- 7. Optionally, re-enable the Secure::DisableBanner configuration if it was previously disabled.
