Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Mantis up to 0.19.3 (Bug Tracking Software). This affects an unknown part of the file bug_file_add.php of the component File Upload. The manipulation of the argument max_file_size with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Mantis before 0.19.4 allows remote attackers to bypass the file upload size restriction by modifying the max_file_size parameter to (1) bug_file_add.php, (2) bug_report.php, (3) bug_report_advanced_page.php, and (4) proj_doc_add_page.php.
