Security
The following security issues are fixed in this release. Thanks to the
Polish Financial Supervision Authority IT Security Department (UKNF)

content with fraudulent content types. This vulnerability is assigned
CVE-2022-25802.
* RT did not perform full rights checks on accesses to file or image type
custom fields, possibly allowing access to these custom fields by users
without rights to access to the associated objects (like the ticket it
is associated with).
