[GLSA-200509-16] Mantis: XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Mantis: XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-16
(Mantis: XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities)
Mantis fails to properly sanitize untrusted input before using it.
This leads to an SQL injection and several cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities.
Impact
A possible hacker could possibly use the SQL injection vulnerability to
access or modify information from the Mantis database. Furthermore the
cross-site scripting issues give a possible hacker the ability to inject and
execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication
credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
