Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9701)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in MantisBT before 1.2.19 and 1.3.x before 1.3.0-beta.2 when processing url parameter to permalink_page.php. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9759)

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

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the config_is_private function in config_api.php in MantisBT 1.3.x before 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive master salt configuration information via a SOAP API request.


3) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9573)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the MANTIS_MANAGE_USERS_COOKIE cookie. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.


4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9572)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

MantisBT before 1.2.19 and 1.3.x before 1.3.0-beta.2 does not properly restrict access to /*/install.php, which allows remote attackers to obtain database credentials via the install parameter with the value 4.


5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-9571)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in admin/install.php in MantisBT before 1.2.19 and 1.3.x before 1.3.0-beta.2 when processing (1) admin_username or (2) admin_password parameter. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
