Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the MantisBT application hosted on the remote web server is 1.2.x prior to 1.2.18. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple input-validation errors exist that could allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2014-7146, CVE-2014-8986, CVE-2014-8987, CVE-2014-9269, CVE-2014-9270, CVE-2014-9271, CVE-2014-9272, CVE-2014-9280, CVE-2014-9281)

- Two unspecified errors exist that could allow SQL injection attacks. (CVE-2014-8554, CVE-2014-9089)

- Three unspecified errors exist that could allow information disclosure attacks. (CVE-2014-8553, CVE-2014-8988, CVE-2014-9279)

- An error exists in the file 'core/string_api.php' that could allow open redirect attacks. (CVE-2014-6316)

- An error exists in the file 'gpc_api.php' that could allow an attacker to bypass authentication protections by using a password that starts with a NULL byte. (CVE-2014-6387)

- An error exists in the 'XML Import/Export' plugin that could allow unauthorized attackers to upload XML files or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2014-8598)

- An error exists related to the CAPTCHA protection mechanism and the parameter 'public_key' that could allow security bypasses. (CVE-2014-9117)

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

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.2.18 or later.

Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the MantisBT 1.2.x < 1.2.18 Multiple Vulnerabilities vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/multi/http/mantisbt_php_exec
[MantisBT XmlImportExport Plugin PHP Code Injection Vulnerability]
Exploit-DB: exploits/php/remote/35283.rb
