Vulnerabilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A - Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A1.- Parameter 'dir' of the script "/view_all_set.php"
is vulnerable to XSS attacks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The parameter 'dir' of the /view_all_set.php script is
not correctly sanitize
and is vulnerable to XSS attacks. 

The following is a sample url to check the problem: 

  
http://[target]/view_all_set.php?sort=severity&dir="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>&type=2

This bug is addressed as #0005959 in the MantisBT bug
database.

A1.- XSS in /bug_actiongroup_page.php when deleting a
bug from the /view_all_bug_page.php
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability was found in the
script /bug_actiongroup_page.php when deleting a bug
from the /view_all_bug_page.php.

To reproduce behaviour follow these steps:

	1.- Report a bug with the following summary:
Test<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
	2.- Enter as administrator and find the bug in
/view_all_bug_page.php script
	3.- Select the checkbox correspondient to this bug
and DELETE in the drop down bellow.
	4.- Press OK.
	5.- In the /bug_actiongroup_page.php you will see the
bug to delete and also a wonderfull 
	    javascript alert.

This bug may be considered as non exploitable but it
is exploitable. If you registers only one bug is 
possible that the administrator do not selects for
deletion it from the /view_all_bug_page.php but, what 
about if you registers 15 messages? The administrator
surely will delete all the bugs by selecting all 
the bugs from the /view_all_bug_page.php.

This bug is addressed as #0006002 in the MantisBT bug
database.

B.- Database scanner via variable poisoning in
/core/database_api.php script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the 'register_globals' directive is enabled the
script located at /core/database_api.php 
is vulnerable to variable poisoning attacks.
 
By exploiting the vulnerability an attacker can
connect to databases that are in the web server LAN.

To reproduce the behavior simply navigate to any of
these urls:

http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=mysql://invaliduser@...alhost:3336
[^]
       
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=mysql://root@...alhost:3336
[^]
	 
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=informix://localhost:8080
[^]

Due to this vulnerability an attacker can write a
database scanner or a network scanner by simply 
changing the hostname and port and parsing the
responses.

Examples:
	1.-
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=mysql://root@...alhost
[^]
	(Fast response)

	2.-
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=mysql://root@....168.1.1
[^]
	(No response in about 30 seconds)

	3.-
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=mysql://root@...x.y.z
[^]
	(Response in about 3 seconds)

A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to
scan arbitrary ports on arbitrary 
hosts using a URL with the following form: 
 
 
http://[target]/core/database_api.php?g_db_type=<database
type>://<hostname>:<port>

Based on the Response Time and the Response returned
by MantisBT, the remote user can 
determine whether the specified port on the specified
host is open or closed. As a consecuence, 
a remote user can invoke MantisBT to scan arbitrary
ports on arbitrary hosts.

This bug is addressed as #0005956 in the MantisBT bug
database.

Notes about issue #0005956
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.- This vulnerability doesn't allow an attacker to
run SQL commands against the database. 

2.- Not all sites running Mantis Bugtracker are
vulnerables. This only works if the 'register_globals'

directive is On. If you're unsure if your site is
vulnerable you can try the provided exploit, 
called 'exploit.py'.

Workarounds:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is no known workaround for the #0005959 and
#0006002 issues.

For #0005956 issue you only need to DISABLE the f* PHP
directive 'register_globals'.

Patches:
~~~~~~~~

The followings are patches that solves the #0005956,
#0005959 and #0006002 issues.

The fix:
~~~~~~~~

Issues #0005956 and #0005959 are correcteds in version
1.0.0RC1. 
Alternatively, you can use the attacheds non-official
patches.

How to apply the patches:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To apply the patches follow these steps: 

	1.- Download (or copy/paste) the patch (or patches)
that you need (i.e.: 0005956.patch).
	2.- Copy the patch to your local '<mantis_dir>/core/'
directory. (i.e.: in my 
	    Debian Sarge distribution this is located under
/usr/local/mantis/gui/core).
	3.- Execute the following command:

		$ patch -p0 < 0005956.patch

After applying the patch:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have been applied the patch and you're not sure
if your system is vulnerable
or not, you can run the attached exploit called
(originally...) 'exploit.py' and 
follow the instructions. 

NOTE: This exploit only probes the issue #0005956.
