Package: rt3.8-clients
Version: 3.8.8-7
Severity: wishlist

        The current version of rt-mailgate(1) relies on a specific
        “backdoor” to access the REST interface of RT, like:

    <Location /rt/REST/1.0/NoAuth>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8
        Satisfy any
    </Location>

        However, this configuration is insecure in at least two
        situations:

        • the RT installation is on a different host, so that the IP
          address may be spoofed;

        • the host is used for Shell accounts of some less trusted
          folks.

        OTOH, given that the HTTP basic authentication is only a matter
        of calling the LWP::UserAgent's ->credentials () method (as per
        the documentation [1]), it doesn't seem like a big deal to have
        it supported.
