The print_test_result function in admin/upgrade_unattended.php in MantisBT 1.1.0a3 through 1.2.x before 1.2.18 allows remote attackers to obtain database credentials via a URL in the hostname parameter and reading the parameters in the response sent to the URL.

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

Versions of MantisBT 1.1.x through 1.2.x prior to 1.2.18 are affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure flaw exists in the 'upgrade_unattended.php' script through the 'print_test_result' parameter. A remote attacker could acquire SQL database credentials through a URL in the 'hostname' parameter and by reading the parameters in the response sent to the URL, allowing further compromise. (CVE-2014-9279)

  - An input validation flaw exists in the 'projax_array_serialize_for_autocomplete' function of the 'core/projax_api.php' script allowing cross-site scripting attacks.(CVE-2014-9270)

  - An API flaw exists due to an error in the script 'api/soap/mc_project_api.php' when utilizing the 'mc_project_get_attachments' function in conjunction with the 'project_id' parameter. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This vulnerability is related to an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-1609. (CVE-2014-8554)

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.
