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. In version 2.28.0, when deleting a Tag
(tag_delete.php), improper escaping of its name when displaying the confirmation message allows an
attacker to inject HTML and, if CSP settings permit, achieve execution of arbitrary JavaScript. Version
2.28.1 fixes the issue. Workarounds include reverting commit d6890320752ecf37bd74d11fe14fe7dc12335be9
and/or manually editing language files to remove the sprintf placeholder `%1$s` from

Update the mantisbt/mantisbt library and its related packages to version 2.28.1 or later.
