Mantis Multiple Flaws (4)

Summary
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by several flaws. Description : According to its banner, the version of Mantis on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'g_db_type' parameter of the 'core/database_api.php' script. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an attacker may be able to exploit this to connect to arbitrary databases as well as scan for arbitrary open ports, even on an internal network. In addition, it is reportedly prone to multiple cross-site scripting issues.
Solution
Upgrade to Mantis 1.0.0rc2 or newer.
