MantisBT < 2.27.2 Unauthorized Disclosure (GHSA-g582-8vwr-68h2)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 272741

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of MantisBT installed on the remote host is prior to 2.27.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the GHSA-g582-8vwr-68h2 advisory.

 - Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to manage_config_columns_page (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the Copy From action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to. Access to the reverse operation (Copy To) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration.
 (CVE-2025-62520)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MantisBT version 2.27.2 or later.
