MantisBT 1.2.13 < 1.2.18 XSS
low Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 8906
Synopsis
The remote web server is hosting an outdated web application that is vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting attacks.Description
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.
Solution
Upgrade to MantisBT 1.2.18 or later.See Also
