SCA: security update for mantisbt/mantisbt (GHSA-98xr-mmq5-vc5h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433916

Description

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

- An XSS issue was discovered in admin/install.php in MantisBT before 1.3.12 and 2.x before 2.5.2. Some
variables under user control in the MantisBT installation script are not properly sanitized before being
output, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code, as demonstrated by the $f_database,
$f_db_username, and $f_admin_username variables. This is mitigated by the fact that the admin/ folder
should be deleted after installation, and also prevented by CSP. (CVE-2017-12061)
