CVE-2017-7615 is an improper password recovery vulnerability in MantisBT affecting versions through 2.3.0. The flaw is in the password reset verification flow handled by verify.php, where an empty confirm_hash value is improperly accepted during account verification. By invoking the password reset verification process with a valid user identifier and a blank confirmation token, an unauthenticated attacker can bypass the intended reset validation logic and reach the account update stage. This can be used to reset another user's password, including an administrative account, resulting in unauthorized access.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (mantisbt_password_reset.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated password reset vulnerability in MantisBT versions prior to 1.3.10, 2.2.4, and 2.3.1 (CVE-2017-7615). The module allows an attacker to reset the password of any user (given their user ID) by interacting with the MantisBT web interface via HTTP requests. The exploit works by first verifying the target is a MantisBT instance, then sending crafted requests to /verify.php and /account_update.php to reset the password. The module is written in Ruby and is intended to be used within the Metasploit framework. No hardcoded endpoints or IPs are present; the module operates against a user-supplied target. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on vulnerable MantisBT installations.
