GHSA-9c3j-xm6v-j7j3
MantisBT has a Content Security Policy bypass via attachments
Quick fix
GHSA-9c3j-xm6v-j7j3 — mantisbt/mantisbt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
composer require mantisbt/mantisbt:^2.28.2Details
Given any pre-existing XSS / HTML injection vulnerability, an attacker can bypass the Content Security Policy's _script-src_ directive by uploading a crafted attachment to any issue that, when accessed via the _file_download.php_ link, will be downloaded with a valid JavaScript MIME type resulting in script execution.
The uploaded payload must be sniffed as a valid JavaScript MIME type by PHP finfo (see file_create_finfo() API function). Non-JavaScript MIME types will not get imported in a `<script>` tag by the browser, due to response header X-Content-Type-Options being set to _nosniff_, which requires all imported JavaScript files to be a valid JavaScript MIME type.
