SCA: security update for mantisbt/mantisbt (GHSA-r3jf-hm7q-qfw5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435913

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions 2.27.1 and below allow attackers
 to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761
 characters) due to a lack of server-side validation of note length. Once such a note is added, the
 activity stream UI fails to render; therefore, new notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all
 future collaboration on the issue. This issue is fixed in version 2.27.2. (CVE-2025-46556)
