Improper escaping of tag names retrieved from History in Timeline (myviewpage.php) allows an attacker to inject HTML and, if CSP settings permit, achieve execution of arbitrary JavaScript, when displaying a tag that has been renamed or deleted.

Impact Cross-site scripting (XSS).

Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions prior to 2.28.1 running on MySQL family databases are affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SOAP API, as a result of an improper type checking on the password parameter. Other database backends are not affected, as they do not perform implicit type conversion from string to integer. Using a crafted SOAP envelope, an attacker knowing the victim's username is able to login to the SOAP API with their account without knowledge of the actual password, and execute any API function they have access to. Version 2.28.1 contains a patch. Disabling the SOAP API significantly reduces the risk, but still allows the attacker to retrieve user account information including email address and real name.

Impact

Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to manageconfigcolumnspage.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.

Patches The vulnerability will be fixed in MantisBT version 2.27.2.

Workarounds None

Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. In versions 2.27.1 and below, 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. This could result in storing an invalid email address, preventing the user from receiving system notifications. Notifications sent to another person's email address could lead to information disclosure. This issue is fixed in version 2.27.2.

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:

Impact - The entire activity stream becomes unviewable (UI fails to render). - New notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all future collaboration on the issue.

Due to an incorrect use of loose (==) instead of strict (===) comparison in the [authentication code][1], PHP type juggling will cause interpretation of certain MD5 hashes as numbers, specifically those matching scientific notation.

[1]: https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/0fb502dd613991e892ed2224ac5ea3e40ba632bc/core/authenticationapi.php#L782

Impact On MantisBT instances configured to use the MD5 login method, user accounts having a password hash evaluating to zero (i.e. matching regex ^0+[Ee][0-9]+$) are vulnerable, allowing an attacker knowing the victim's username to login without knowledge of their actual password, using any other password having a hash evaluating to zero, for example comito5 (0e579603064547166083907005281618).

No password bruteforcing for individual users is needed, thus $gmaxfailedlogincount does not protect against the attack.

Patches Fixed in 2.27.2.

Workarounds Check the database for vulnerable accounts, and change those users' passwords, e.g. for MySQL: sql SELECT username, email FROM mantisusertable WHERE password REGEXP '^0+[Ee][0-9]+$'

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 calling accountupdate.php with increasing user IDs is possible. Impact

A successful takeover would grant the attacker full access to the compromised account, including sensitive information and functionalities associated with the account, the extent of which depends on its privileges and the data it has access to.

Patches

92d11a01b195a1b6717a2f205218089158ea6d00

Workarounds

Mitigate the risk by reducing the verification token's validity (change the value of the TOKENEXPIRYAUTHENTICATED constant in constantsinc.php).
