Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the selection list in the filters in the Configuration Report page (adm_config_report.php) in MantisBT 1.2.13 through 1.2.17 allows remote administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted config option, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8987.

The remote web server is hosting MantisBT, an open source bug tracking application written in PHP.

Versions of MantisBT 1.2.13 prior to 1.2.18 are affected by two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the 'adm_config_report.php' script due to lack of user input sanitization. Special characters such as double quotes or < and > are not filtered before being reflected. Additionally, user-supplied input submitted to the 'config_option' parameter is not checked for validity when passed to the script. This could allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between the browser and server.

According to its version number, the MantisBT application hosted on the remote web server is 1.2.x prior to 1.2.18. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple input-validation errors exist that could allow     cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2014-7146,     CVE-2014-8986, CVE-2014-8987, CVE-2014-9269,     CVE-2014-9270, CVE-2014-9271, CVE-2014-9272,     CVE-2014-9280, CVE-2014-9281)

  - Two unspecified errors exist that could allow SQL     injection attacks. (CVE-2014-8554, CVE-2014-9089)

  - Three unspecified errors exist that could allow     information disclosure attacks. (CVE-2014-8553,     CVE-2014-8988, CVE-2014-9279)

  - An error exists in the file 'core/string_api.php' that     could allow open redirect attacks. (CVE-2014-6316)

  - An error exists in the file 'gpc_api.php' that could     allow an attacker to bypass authentication protections     by using a password that starts with a NULL byte.
    (CVE-2014-6387)

  - An error exists in the 'XML Import/Export' plugin that     could allow unauthorized attackers to upload XML files     or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2014-8598)

  - An error exists related to the CAPTCHA protection     mechanism and the parameter 'public_key' that could     allow security bypasses. (CVE-2014-9117)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mantis bug tracking system, which may result in phishing, information disclosure, CAPTCHA bypass, SQL injection, cross-site scripting or the execution of arbitrary PHP code.
