Vulnerability description

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.
