Description Adam Mariš 2017-08-02 10:29:58 UTC

An XSS issue was discovered in admin/install.php in MantisBT before
1.3.12 and 2.x before 2.5.2. Some variables under user control in the
MantisBT installation script are not properly sanitized before being
output, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code,
as demonstrated by the $f_database, $f_db_username, and
$f_admin_username variables. This is mitigated by the fact that the
admin/ folder should be deleted after installation, and also prevented
by CSP.
