4Description
Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions prior to 2.28.1 running on MySQL family databases are affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SOAP API, as a result of an improper type checking on the password parameter. Other database backends are not affected, as they do not perform implicit type conversion from string to integer. Using a crafted SOAP envelope, an attacker knowing the victim's username is able to login to the SOAP API with their account without knowledge of the actual password, and execute any API function they have access to. Version 2.28.1 contains a patch. Disabling the SOAP API significantly reduces the risk, but still allows the attacker to retrieve user account information including email address and real name.
Analysis
MantisBT versions prior to 2.28.1 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SOAP API caused by improper type checking on the password parameter when running on MySQL family databases. An attacker who knows a victim's username can log in to the SOAP API without knowing the correct password and execute any API function available to that account. …
