Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-7615 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 1.3.0-rc.2; fixed in 1.3.10\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 1.3.0-rc.2; fixed in 1.3.10\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.2.4\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.2.4\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.1\n- mantisbt/mantisbt (Packagist): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.1\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-2017-7615/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7615/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7615","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7615/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7615","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-252r-f55f-ff34"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MantisBT bug tracker","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication and gain admin access by submitting an empty confirmation hash during password reset.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mantisbt","vendor":"mantisbt"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-640","name":"Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password"}],"description":"MantisBT through 2.3.0 allows arbitrary password reset and unauthenticated admin access via an empty confirm_hash value to verify.php.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2017-04-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2017-04-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41890","stars":null,"title":"Mantis Bug Tracker 1.3.0/2.3.0 -
