Several security related problems have been discovered in Mantis, a web-based bug tracking system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2005-4238
Missing input sanitising allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
- CVE-2005-4518
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis allows remote attackers to bypass the file upload size restriction.
- CVE-2005-4519
Tobias Klein discovered several SQL injection vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
- CVE-2005-4520
Tobias Klein discovered unspecified "port injection" vulnerabilities in filters.
- CVE-2005-4521
Tobias Klein discovered a CRLF injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
- CVE-2005-4522
Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
- CVE-2005-4523
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis discloses private bugs via public RSS feeds, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
- CVE-2005-4524
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis does not properly handle "Make note private" when a bug is being resolved, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, probably related to an information leak.
