CVE-2025-46556
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions 2.27.1 and below allow attackers to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761 characters) due to a lack of server-side validation of note length. Once such a note is added, the activity stream UI fails to render; therefore, new notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all future collaboration on the issue. This issue is fixed in version 2.27.2.

"value": "Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) es un rastreador de problemas de código abierto. Las versiones 2.27.1 e inferiores permiten a los atacantes corromper permanentemente los registros de actividad de problemas mediante el envío de notas extremadamente largas (probado con 4.788.761 caracteres) debido a la falta de validación del lado del servidor de la longitud de la nota. Una vez añadida una nota de este tipo, la interfaz de usuario (UI) del flujo de actividad no se renderiza; por lo tanto, las nuevas notas no pueden mostrarse, interrumpiendo eficazmente toda colaboración futura sobre el problema. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 2.27.2."
