Information Disclosure in MantisBT admin/upgrade_unattended.php

IdentifiersCVE-2010-4349CWE-209

In MantisBT before version 1.2.4, the admin/upgrade_unattended.php script fails to properly sanitize the db_type parameter. When an invalid value is supplied, the script triggers an error in the underlying ADOdb Library for PHP, resulting in the disclosure of the installation path in the error message. This is due to an unsafe function call that exposes sensitive information to remote attackers.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

An attacker can remotely trigger an error message that reveals the full installation path of the MantisBT instance. This information disclosure can aid in further attacks, such as path traversal or local file inclusion, by providing knowledge of the server's directory structure.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict access to the admin/upgrade_unattended.php script to trusted users or internal networks only. Additionally, configure PHP and the web server to suppress detailed error messages in production environments to prevent information leakage.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade MantisBT to version 1.2.4 or later, where this issue is resolved by properly handling and sanitizing the db_type parameter and suppressing sensitive error messages.
