Mantis < 1.0.0rc2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19473

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by several flaws.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Mantis on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'g_db_type' parameter of the 'core/database_api.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an attacker may be able to exploit this to connect to arbitrary databases as well as scan for arbitrary open ports, even on an internal network. In addition, it is reportedly prone to multiple cross-site scripting issues.

Solution

Upgrade to Mantis 1.0.0rc2 or later.
