SCA: security update for mantisbt/mantisbt (GHSA-f633-865q-2mhh)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441744

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 versions 2.11.0 through 2.28.1, a Stored
XSS vulnerability is caused by incorrect escaping of a saved filter's owner, allowing an attacker to
inject arbitrary HTML on systems where $g_show_user_realname = ON. Note that By default, only users with
Manager access level or above can save their filters publicly. This issue has been fixed in version
2.28.2. If developers are unable to update immediately, they can work around this issue by preventing
display of users' real names (set $g_ show_user_realname = OFF; in configuration), and restricting the
ability to store filters (set $g_stored_query_create_threshold / $g_stored_query_create_shared_threshold
to NOBODY). (CVE-2026-40607)

Solution

Update the mantisbt/mantisbt library and its related packages to version 2.28.2 or later.
