CVE-2012-5522
First published: Fri Nov 16 2012(Updated: )
MantisBT before 1.2.12 does not use an expected default value during decisions about whether a user may modify the status of a bug, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and make status changes by leveraging a blank value for a per-status setting.
