MantisBT 1.2.x < 1.2.19 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 81495

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the MantisBT application hosted on the remote web server is 1.2.x prior to 1.2.19. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An XSS vulnerability exists in 'admin/install.php' that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary script data via the admin_username or admin_password parameter.
(CVE-2014-9571)

- Access to '/*/install.php' is not properly restricted, which allows remote attackers to obtain the database credentials via the install parameter with the value 4.
(CVE-2014-9572)

- A SQLi vulnerability exists in 'manage_user_page.php' that allows remote administrators with FILE privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the MANTIS_MANAGE_USERS_COOKIE cookie. (CVE-2014-9573)

- A flaw exists that allows remote attackers to obtain an unlimited amount of CAPTCHA samples with different perturbations for the same challenge. This allows an attacker to bypass CAPTCHA testing. (CVE-2014-9624)

- The 'string_sanitize_url' function in 'core/string_api.php' uses an incorrect regular expresssion, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect and phishing attacks via a URL with a ':/' separator in the return parameter for 'login_page.php'. (CVE-2015-1042)

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

Solution

Upgrade to MantisBT version 1.2.19 or later.
