Description Vincent Danen 2014-09-12 16:46:45 UTC
As reported [1],[2], Mantis suffers from a null byte poisoning issue when LDAP authentication is used.  A malicious user could exploit this vulnerability to login as any registered user without knowing their password, when Mantis relies on LDAP for user authentication ("allow bind_anon_cred" is used).

This will be fixed [3] in the next version of Mantis.  All versions <= 1.2.17 are vulnerable.
