A lack of server-side validation for note length in MantisBT allows attackers to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761 characters). Once such a note is added:
Due to an incorrect use of loose (==) instead of strict (===) comparison in the authentication code, PHP type juggling will cause interpretation of certain MD5 hashes as numbers, specifically those matching scientific notation.
Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to manage_config_columns_page.php (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the Copy From action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to. Access to the reverse operation (Copy To) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration.
When a user edits their profile to change their e-mail address, the system saves it without validating that it actually belongs to the user.
Using a crafted POST request, an unprivileged, registered user is able to retrieve information about other users' personal system profiles.
If an issue references a note that belongs to another issue that the user doesn't have access to, then it gets hyperlinked. Clicking on the link gives an access denied error as expected, yet some information remains available via the link, link label, and tooltip.
Improper escaping of a custom field's name allows an attacker to inject HTML and, if CSP settings permit, achieve execution of arbitrary JavaScript when: resolving or closing issues (bug_change_status_page.php) belonging to a project linking said custom field viewing issues (view_all_bug_page.php) when the custom field is displayed as a column printing issues (print_all_bug_page.php) when the custom field is displayed as a column
Insufficient access control in the registration and password reset process allows an attacker to reset another user's password and takeover their account, if the victim has an incomplete request pending. The exploit is only possible while the verification token is valid, i.e for 5 minutes after the confirmation URL sent by e-mail has been opened, and the user did not complete the process by updating their password. A brute-force attack …
MantisBT is an open source issue tracker. Prior to version 2.26.1, an unauthenticated attacker who knows a user's email address and username can hijack the user's account by poisoning the link in the password reset notification message. A patch is available in version 2.26.1. As a workaround, define $g_path as appropriate in config_inc.php.
Due to insufficient access-level checks on the Wiki redirection page, any user can reveal private Projects' names, by accessing wiki.php with sequentially incremented IDs.
Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. In versions prior to 2.25.6, due to insufficient access-level checks, any logged-in user allowed to perform Group Actions can access to the Summary field of private Issues (i.e. having Private view status, or belonging to a private Project) via a crafted bug_arr[] parameter in bug_actiongroup_ext.php. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.6. There are no workarounds.
An XSS vulnerability in MantisBT before 2.25.5 allows remote attackers to attach crafted SVG documents to issue reports or bugnotes. When a user or an admin clicks on the attachment, file_download.php opens the SVG document in a browser tab instead of downloading it as a file, causing the JavaScript code to execute.
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.3. When editing an Issue in a Project where a Custom Field with a crafted Regular Expression property is used, improper escaping of the corresponding form input's pattern attribute allows HTML injection and, if CSP settings permit, execution of arbitrary JavaScript.
The proj_doc_edit_page.php Project Documentation feature in MantisBT before 2.21.3 has a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, allowing execution of arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) after uploading an attachment with a crafted filename. The code is executed when editing the document's page.
An XSS issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.2. Improper escaping on view_all_bug_page.php allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTML into the page by saving it into a text Custom Field, leading to possible code execution in the browser of any user subsequently viewing the issue (if CSP settings allow it).
An issue was discovered in MantisBT through 2.24.3. In the helper_ensure_confirmed call in manage_custom_field_update.php, the custom field name is not sanitized. This may be problematic depending on CSP settings.
An issue was discovered in file_download.php in MantisBT before 2.24.3. Users without access to view private issue notes are able to download the (supposedly private) attachments linked to these notes by accessing the corresponding file download URL directly.
In MantisBT 2.24.3, SQL Injection can occur in the parameter "access" of the mc_project_get_users function through the API SOAP.
MantisBT before 1.3.20 and 2.22.1 allows Post Authentication Command Injection, leading to Remote Code Execution.
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.4. A missing access check in bug_actiongroup.php allows an attacker (with rights to create new issues) to use the COPY group action to create a clone, including all bugnotes and attachments, of any private issue (i.e., one having Private view status, or belonging to a private Project) via the bug_arr[] parameter. This provides full access to potentially confidential information.
In manage_proj_edit_page.php in MantisBT before 2.24.4, any unprivileged logged-in user can retrieve Private Projects' names via the manage_proj_edit_page.php project_id parameter, without having access to them.
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.4. Due to insufficient access-level checks, any logged-in user allowed to perform Group Actions can get access to the Summary fields of private Issues via bug_arr[]= in a crafted bug_actiongroup_page.php URL. (The target Issues can have Private view status, or belong to a private Project.)
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.4. An incorrect access check in bug_revision_view_page.php allows an unprivileged attacker to view the Summary field of private issues, as well as bugnotes revisions, gaining access to potentially confidential information via the bugnote_id parameter.
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.3. Improper escaping of a custom field's name allows an attacker to inject HTML and, if CSP settings permit, achieve execution of arbitrary JavaScript when attempting to update said custom field via bug_actiongroup_page.php.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the View Filters page (view_filters_page.php) and Edit Filter page (manage_filter_edit_page.php) in MantisBT 2.1.0 through 2.17.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted PATH_INFO. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-13055.
An XSS issue was discovered in manage_custom_field_edit_page.php in MantisBT before 2.25.2. Unescaped output of the return parameter allows an attacker to inject code into a hidden input field.
The Timeline feature in my_view_page.php in MantisBT through 2.21.1 has a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, allowing execution of arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) after uploading an attachment with a crafted filename. The code is executed for any user having visibility to the issue, whenever My View Page is displayed.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MantisBT (2.3.x before 2.3.2) Timeline include page, used in My View (my_view_page.php) and User Information (view_user_page.php) pages, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through crafted PATH_INFO in a URL, due to use of unsanitized $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to generate URLs.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MantisBT Move Attachments page (move_attachments_page.php, part of admin tools) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code through a crafted 'type' parameter, if Content Security Protection (CSP) settings allows it. This is fixed in 1.3.9, 2.1.3, and 2.2.3. Note that this vulnerability is not exploitable if the admin tools directory is removed, as recommended in the "Post-installation and upgrade tasks" of the MantisBT Admin …
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MantisBT Configuration Report page (adm_config_report.php) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code through a crafted 'action' parameter. This is fixed in 1.3.8, 2.1.2, and 2.2.2.
MantisBT before 1.3.1 and 2.x before 2.0.0-beta.2 uses a weak Content Security Policy when using the Gravatar plugin, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified vectors.
An XSS issue was discovered in manage_user_page.php in MantisBT 2.x before 2.5.2. The 'filter' field is not sanitized before being rendered in the Manage User page, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code if CSP is disabled.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MantisBT Configuration Report page (adm_config_report.php) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted 'config_option' parameter. This is fixed in 1.3.9, 2.1.3, and 2.2.3.
MantisBT before 1.3.11, 2.x before 2.3.3, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 omits a backslash check in string_api.php and consequently has conflicting interpretations of an initial / substring as introducing either a local pathname or a remote hostname, which leads to (1) arbitrary Permalink Injection via CSRF attacks on a permalink_page.php?url= URI and (2) an open redirect via a login_page.php?return= URI.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in manage_proj_cat_add.php in MantisBT 1.2.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the name parameter in an Add Category action.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the View Filters page (view_filters_page.php) in MantisBT 2.1.0 through 2.15.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted PATH_INFO.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Manage Filters page (manage_filter_page.php) in MantisBT 2.1.0 through 2.17.1 allows remote attackers (if access rights permit it) to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted project name.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Edit Filter page (manage_filter_edit page.php) in MantisBT 2.1.0 through 2.17.1 allows remote attackers (if access rights permit it) to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted project name.
An issue was discovered in manage_filter_edit_page.php in MantisBT 2.x through 2.15.0. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Edit Filter page allows execution of arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) when displaying a filter with a crafted name (e.g., 'foobar" onclick="alert(1)').
An XSS issue was discovered in admin/install.php in MantisBT before 1.3.12 and 2.x before 2.5.2. Some variables under user control in the MantisBT installation script are not properly sanitized before being output, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code, as demonstrated by the $f_database, $f_db_username, and $f_admin_username variables. This is mitigated by the fact that the admin/ folder should be deleted after installation, and also prevented by CSP.
MantisBT through 2.3.0 allows arbitrary password reset and unauthenticated admin access via an empty confirm_hash value to verify.php.
An XSS issue was discovered in browser_search_plugin.php in MantisBT up to and including 2.25.2. Unescaped output of the return parameter allows an attacker to inject code into a hidden input field.
An issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.24.5. It associates a unique cookie string with each user. This string is not reset upon logout (i.e., the user session is still considered valid and active), allowing an attacker who somehow gained access to a user's cookie to login as them.
Lack of Neutralization of Formula Elements in the CSV API of MantisBT before 2.25.3 allows an unprivileged attacker to execute code or gain access to information when a user opens the csv_export.php generated CSV file in Excel.
An XSS issue was discovered in MantisBT before 2.25.3. Improper escaping of a Plugin name allows execution of arbitrary code (if CSP allows it) in manage_plugin_page.php and manage_plugin_uninstall.php when a crafted plugin is installed.
