Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its version number, the MantisBT install hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- Version 1.2.12 of the application is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability because the 'search.php' script fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'match_type' parameter. An attacker may be able to leverage this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site. (CVE-2013-0197)
- Version 1.2.12 of the application is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A user with manager or administrator privileges can create a category or project name containing JavaScript code. This code would then be executed within the browser of a user visiting the summary.php script.
- The application is affected by a workflow-related flaw as a user with 'Reporter' permissions can modify the status of any issue to 'New' even if the user does not have sufficient privileges to make the change.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to version 1.2.13 or later.See Also
