The vulnerability exists in osTicket's PDF export\\n          functionality which uses mPDF. By injecting a specially crafted HTML payload\\n          containing PHP filter chain URIs into a ticket reply, an attacker can read\\n          arbitrary files from the server when the ticket is exported to PDF.\\n\\n          The PHP filter chain constructs a BMP image header that is prepended to the\\n          target file contents. When mPDF renders the ticket as a PDF, it processes\\n          the php://filter URI, reads the target file, and embeds it as a bitmap image\\n          in the resulting PDF. The module then extracts the file contents from the PDF.\\n\\n          Authentication is required. The module supports both staff panel (/scp/) and\\n          client portal login. An existing ticket number is also required.\\n\\n          Default files extracted are /etc/passwd and include/ost-config.php.
