This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) versions 1.2.13 through 1.2.16, exploiting CVE-2014-2238. The module leverages a SQL injection vulnerability in the /adm_config_report.php endpoint, which, when accessed with administrative credentials, allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem using the MySQL LOAD_FILE function. The exploit authenticates to the MantisBT instance via /login.php, then sends a crafted POST request to /adm_config_report.php to trigger the vulnerability. The file contents are extracted from the response and saved as loot within Metasploit. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit auxiliary module, requiring the user to specify the target URI, admin credentials, and the file path to read. No detection or fake code is present; this is a functional exploit module.
