The version of MantisBT installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the ‘match_type’ parameter of the ‘search.php’ script before using it to generate dynamic HTML output. An attacker may be able to leverage this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user’s browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
Note that the install is also likely to be affected by additional cross-site scripting vulnerabilities as well as an unauthorized status update flaw, although Nessus has not tested for these additional issues.
