Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4349)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

admin/upgrade_unattended.php in MantisBT before 1.2.4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid db_type parameter, which reveals the installation path in an error message, related to an unsafe call by MantisBT to a function in the ADOdb Library for PHP.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4350)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in admin/upgrade_unattended.php in MantisBT before 1.2.4. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a . (dot dot) in the db_type parameter, related to an unsafe call by MantisBT to a function in the ADOdb Library for PHP.
