Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-21 11:18:31 UTC

A persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way Mantis, a web-based issue tracking system, performed sanitization of the 'match_type' parameter. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted URL that, when processed by Mantis instance, would lead to arbitrary web script or HTML execution.

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for creating the CVE; please take note of a small rectification on the
original issue report:

David Hicks <d <at> hx.id.au> writes:
> Jakub Galczyk discovered[1][2] a cross site scripting (XSS)
> vulnerability in *MantisBT 1.2.12 and earlier versions*

This affects *only MantisBT version 1.2.12* (and the 'master'
development branch after 15-Sep-2012), as earlier versions did not contain the
commit introducing the 'match type' filtering feature [1].

It's also worth mentioning that a better patch for the vulnerability is
available under follow-up issue #15388 [2]
