Description

An XSS issue was discovered in admin/install.php in MantisBT before 1.3.12 and 2.x before 2.5.2. Some variables under user control in the MantisBT installation script are not properly sanitized before being output, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code, as demonstrated by the $f_database, $f_db_username, and $f_admin_username variables. This is mitigated by the fact that the admin/ folder should be deleted after installation, and also prevented by CSP.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

1.3.0 ≤ v < 1.3.122.0.0 ≤ v < 2.5.2
Affected range stops below 1.3.12, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Affected range stops below 2.5.2, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
