Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions 2.28.1 and prior permit a user to list and download their own attachments from an Issue created by another user even after it becomes private, bypassing read access revocation. The loss of confidentiality caused by this vulnerability is minimal, considering that only attachments previously uploaded by the user themselves remain accessible. This issue has been fixed in version 2.82.2.

The version of MantisBT installed on the remote host is prior to 2.28.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - MantisBT is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation from Manager to Administrator. (CVE-2026-34390)

  - MantisBT is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass in Bugnote Editing via Issue Update API. (CVE-2026-42070)

  - MantisBT is vulnerable to Stored XSS in Custom Field Textarea Values. (CVE-2026-39960)
