"The version of MantisBT installed on the remote host is prior to 2.28.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - A SQL injection vulnerability exists in core/history_api.php. The history_order configuration value is
    concatenated directly into a SQL ORDER BY clause without any sanitisation, parameterization, or validation
    against a whitelist. (CVE-2026-47142)

  - A critical authentication bypass exists in the SOAP API's mci_check_login() function. Any user knowing any
    valid cookie_string can authenticate as any other user (knowing their username), including the administrator,
    without knowing the target's password. (CVE-2026-47156)

  - MantisBT contains reflected XSS injection points in /admin/install.php. User-supplied parameters are echoed
    into HTML without escaping via an unescaped printf format string. No authentication is required.
    (CVE-2026-52881)

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