"The version of MantisBT installed on the remote host is prior to 2.28.1. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability:

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the SOAP API due to improper type checking on the password
    parameter when running on MySQL family databases. Using a crafted SOAP envelope, an attacker knowing the
    victim's username is able to login to the SOAP API without knowledge of the actual password and execute any
    API function they have access to. (CVE-2026-30849)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
