Summary

MantisBT: Stored XSS in print_all_bug_page_word.php

Details

A missing output encoding call in print_all_bug_page_word.php allows any authenticated user to inject arbitrary HTML into an IMG tag's alt attribute via an image attachment with a crafted filename such as probe." onload="alert(1).

When any user views the HTML export page (print_all_bug_page_word.php?type_page=html&export=1), the rendered IMG tag becomes <img src="..." alt="" onload="alert(1)" />, breaking out of the alt attribute.

Impact

Cross-site scripting.

Impact is limited by MantisBT's Content Security Policy.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
