CVE-2026-41897 Details
Description
Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. From 1.0.0 to 2.28.1, lack of validation of filter_target parameter on return_dynamic_filters.php (normally used as an AJAX in View Issues Page) allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML if the target is a TEXTAREA custom field. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.28.2.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) versions 1.0.0 through 2.28.1. The issue arises in the 'return_dynamic_filters.php' file, where the 'filter_target' parameter is not properly validated. This lack of validation allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML into TEXTAREA custom fields. The vulnerability is exploitable when the 'filter_target' parameter is crafted to include a custom field ID that is not validated or sanitized, leading to HTML injection that can be executed in the context of the user.
Users can upgrade to MantisBT version 2.28.2, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
