Description

Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) vulnerable to cross-site scripting

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

Impact

Cross-site scripting (XSS).
