Fix CVE-2013-4460, XSS in account_sponsor_page.php

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to its version number, the MantisBT install hosted on the remote web server is 1.1.0 or later but prior to 1.2.16. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A cross-site scripting flaw exists with the     'account_sponsor_page.php' where the 'project_id'     parameter is not validated upon submission. This could     allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary script     code within the browser / server trust relationship     with a specially crafted request. (CVE-2013-4460)

  - A SQL injection flaw exists in the SOAP API with the     'db_query()' function where user-supplied input is not     properly sanitized via the 'mc_issue_attachment_get'     SOAP request. This could allow a remote attacker to     inject or manipulate SQL queries, allowing for the     manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data. This issue     affects version 1.1.0a4 or later. (CVE-2014-1608)

  - SQL injection flaws exists in     'core/news_api.php', 'core/summary_api.php',     'plugins/MantisGraph/core/graph_api.php',     'api/soap/mc_project_api.php', and 'proj_doc_page.php'     pages. This could allow a remote attacker to inject or     manipulate SQL queries, allowing for the manipulation or     disclosure of arbitrary data. This issue only affects     versions 1.2.0 - 1.2.15. (CVE-2014-1609)

Note that Nessus has relied only on the self-reported version number and has not actually tried to exploit these issues.

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mantis bug tracking system, which may result in phishing, information disclosure, CAPTCHA bypass, SQL injection, cross-site scripting or the execution of arbitrary PHP code.

The remote web server is hosting MantisBT, an open source bug tracking application written in PHP.

Versions of MantisBT 1.1.0 prior to 1.2.16 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists because the application does not validate the 'project_id' parameter upon submission to the 'account_sponsor_page.php' script. This may allow a malicious user with 'project manager' access to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship with a specially crafted request. (CVE-2013-4460)

  - A SQL injection vulnerability exists due to the 'db_query()' function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input passed via a 'mc_issue_attachment_get' SOAP request. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data. This issue affects version 1.1.0a4 or later. (CVE-2014-1608)

  - Multiple SQL injection flaws exist in 'core/news_api.php', 'core/summary_api.php', 'plugins/MantisGraph/core/graph_api.php', 'api/soap/mc_project_api.php', and 'proj_doc_page.php' pages. This could allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data. This issue only affects versions 1.2.0 - 1.2.15. (CVE-2014-1609)
