Mantis manage_user_page.php SQL injection
| mantis-manageuserpagesql-injection (24726) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Mantis is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the /manage_user_page.php script using the 'sort' parameter, which will cause the malicious data to be saved into the "MANTIS_MANAGE_COOKIE". The SQL injection is not exploitable but the malicious data will display as a MySQL database error each time the page is loaded, resulting in a temporary site defacement.
