#2014-001 MantisBT input sanitization errors Description: The MantisBT web-based bugtracking system suffers from SQL injection vulnerabilities caused by insufficient input sanitization. The MantisBT SOAP API uses the unsafe db_query() function allowing a specially crafted tag within the envelope of a mc_issue_attachment_get SOAP request to inject arbitrary SQL queries. The reporting of this specific issue was followed by an investigation that lead to additional cases of unsafe db_query() function use, being found by MantisBT maintainers, throughout MantisBT code. Affected version: MantisBT >= 1.1.0a4, <= 1.2.15 Fixed version: MantisBT >= 1.2.16 Credit: vulnerability report received from Martin Herfurt <martin.herfurt AT nruns.com>.
