MantisBT

MantisBT versions 2.28.3 and earlier are vulnerable to six reflected XSS injection points in the `/admin/install.php` script, which attackers can exploit without authentication to perform credential phishing, open redirects, and UI manipulation due to an incomplete Content Security Policy.

A high-severity remote code execution vulnerability, CVE-2026-49273, affects MantisBT versions 2.28.3 and earlier, allowing an authenticated administrator to achieve arbitrary code execution as the web server user by leveraging PHP's class hoisting during the processing of non-string configuration values in `adm_config_set.php`.

A critical authentication bypass vulnerability, CVE-2026-47156, exists in the SOAP API's mci_check_login() function of MantisBT versions 2.28.3 and earlier, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to impersonate any user, including an administrator, by knowing a valid cookie_string and the target username, without needing the target's password, which can lead to full administrator access, extensive data exfiltration, and destructive operations when default self-registration is enabled.

MantisBT versions 2.28.3 and earlier are vulnerable to a SQL injection within the `history_order` configuration value in `core/history_api.php`, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject malicious SQL via the web UI or REST API, which then executes whenever any user views a bug with history entries, leading to sensitive data extraction and potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) via webshell if the MySQL FILE privilege is enabled.

MantisBT is vulnerable to a missing authorization check in its file visibility function, allowing authenticated users with REPORTER or higher access to download attachments on private bugnotes they should not be able to access through the REST API and SOAP API, affecting versions 2.23.0 to 2.28.1.

A content security policy bypass vulnerability, CVE-2026-40597, exists in MantisBT versions 2.28.1 and earlier, allowing an attacker to bypass the _script-src_ directive by uploading a crafted attachment that, when downloaded, executes as JavaScript due to MIME type sniffing, given a pre-existing XSS / HTML injection vulnerability.

A stored HTML injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-33548) exists in MantisBT version 2.28.0, allowing attackers to inject HTML and execute arbitrary JavaScript by manipulating tag names displayed in the timeline due to improper escaping.

MantisBT instances running on MySQL are vulnerable to an authentication bypass in the SOAP API due to improper type checking on the password parameter, allowing attackers with a valid username to log in without the actual password.
