An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-6837 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mantisbt Mantisbt. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6837/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6837/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-6837","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6837/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-6837","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-46x9-rgr5-ww92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MantisBT bug tracker","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the view_type parameter in MantisBT Filter API, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"mantisbt","vendor":"mantisbt"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MantisBT Filter API in MantisBT versions before 1.2.19, and versions 2.0.0-beta1, 1.3.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the 'view_type' parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6837","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mantisbt:mantisbt","products":["mantisbt:mantisbt"],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6838"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6836"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"MantisBT allows cross-site scripting (XSS) via crafted filename","id":"CVE-2019-15074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"MantisBT SOAP API has an authentication bypass vulnerability on MySQL","id":"CVE-2026-30849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MantisBT: Authentication bypass for some passwords due to PHP type juggling","id":"CVE-2025-47776","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"MantisBT allows arbitrary password reset","id":"CVE-2017-7615","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-16"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"MantisBT Vulnerable to Stored HTML Injection in Tag Delete Confirmation","id":"CVE-2026-33517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"MantisBT has Stored HTML Injection / XSS when displaying Tags in Timeline","id":"CVE-2026-33548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"MantisBT Host Header Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-23830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the view_type parameter in MantisBT Filter API, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-6837/"}
