The string_sanitize_url function in core/string_api.php in MantisBT 1.2.0a3 through 1.2.18 uses an incorrect regular expression, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect and phishing attacks via a URL with a ":/" (colon slash) separator in the return parameter to login_page.php, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-6316.

The remote web server is hosting MantisBT, an open source bug tracking application written in PHP.

MantisBT version 1.3.0-beta.1 is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A SQL injection flaw exists due to insufficient filtration of the 'MANTIS_MANAGE_USERS_COOKIE' HTTP cookie in 'manage_user_page.php' script. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data. (CVE-2014-9573)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to an input validation error in the 'admin_username' and 'admin_password' GET parameters of the 'admin/install.php' script. (CVE-2014-9571)

  - A flaw exists in 'admin/install.php' that could allow a remote attacker to obtain database credentials even after MantisBT has been configured. Visiting the 'install.php' script using the parameter 'install' and value of '4' would bypass access restrictions, exposing the saved database credentials in use by MantisBT. (CVE-2014-9572)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to a lack of input validation. Specifically, this flaw affects the 'permalink_page.php' script. (CVE-2014-9701)

  - Multiple URI-redirection vulnerabilities exist due to improperly sanitized user-supplied input submitted to the 'permalink_page.php' and 'login_page.php' scripts. Specifically, these issues occur when the application is installed at the web server's root directory. An attacker can leverage these issues by constructing a URI that includes a malicious site redirection by using a redirect address having a single slash. (CVE-2015-1042)

According to its version number, the MantisBT application hosted on the remote web server is 1.2.x prior to 1.2.19. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An XSS vulnerability exists in 'admin/install.php' that     allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary script data     via the admin_username or admin_password parameter.
    (CVE-2014-9571)

  - Access to '/*/install.php' is not properly restricted,     which allows remote attackers to obtain the database     credentials via the install parameter with the value 4.
    (CVE-2014-9572)

  - A SQLi vulnerability exists in 'manage_user_page.php'     that allows remote administrators with FILE privileges     to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the     MANTIS_MANAGE_USERS_COOKIE cookie. (CVE-2014-9573)

  - A flaw exists that allows remote attackers to obtain an     unlimited amount of CAPTCHA samples with different     perturbations for the same challenge. This allows an     attacker to bypass CAPTCHA testing. (CVE-2014-9624)

  - The 'string_sanitize_url' function in     'core/string_api.php' uses an incorrect regular     expresssion, which allows remote attackers to conduct     open redirect and phishing attacks via a URL with a     ':/' separator in the return parameter for     'login_page.php'. (CVE-2015-1042)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of MantisBT 1.2.x prior to 1.2.19 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A SQL injection flaw exists due to insufficient filtration of the 'MANTIS_MANAGE_USERS_COOKIE' HTTP cookie in 'manage_user_page.php' script. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data. (CVE-2014-9573)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to an input validation error in the 'admin_username' and 'admin_password' GET parameters of the 'admin/install.php' script. (CVE-2014-9571)

  - A flaw exists in 'admin/install.php' that could allow a remote attacker to obtain database credentials even after MantisBT has been configured. Visiting the 'install.php' script using the parameter 'install' and value of '4' would bypass access restrictions, exposing the saved database credentials in use by MantisBT. (CVE-2014-9572)

  - An error exists related to the CAPTCHA protection mechanism allowing a remote attacker to get an unlimited amount of CAPTCHA samples with different perturbations for the same challenge attempt. (CVE-2014-9624)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to a lack of input validation. Specifically, this flaw affects the 'permalink_page.php' script. (CVE-2014-9701)

  - Multiple URI-redirection vulnerabilities exist because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input submitted to the 'permalink_page.php' and 'login_page.php' scripts. Specifically, these issues occur when the application is installed at the web server's root directory. An attacker can leverage these issues by constructing a URI that includes a malicious site redirection by using a redirect address having a single slash. (CVE-2015-1042)
