The history_order configuration value is concatenated directly into a SQL ORDER BY clause without any sanitisation, parameterization, or validation against a whitelist.\n\nAn administrator can set this configuration value via the web UI (adm_config_set.php) or the REST API (PATCH /api/rest/config). The injected SQL then executes whenever any user views a bug with history entries.\n\n### Impact\n- Sensitive data extraction from the entire bugtracker database including user credentials (cookie_string, password hashes), API tokens, and private issue data\n- With MySQL FILE privilege: full RCE via INTO OUTFILE writing a PHP webshell to the web root\n- The admin plants the payload once; any authenticated user viewing a bug with history triggers the injection\n\n### Patches\n- https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/6ad20bea2e01f33c6e4170775ae4d9dbe2c75325\n\n### Workarounds\n_Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_\n\n### Resources\n- https://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=37123\n\n### Credits\nMcCaulay Hudson (@McCaulay) of watchTowr\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `mantisbt/mantisbt <= 2.28.3`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `mantisbt/mantisbt 2.28.4`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":41.3,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
