MantisBT Vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) via Excessive Note Length
A lack of server-side validation for note length in MantisBT allows attackers to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761 characters). Once such a note is added:
Impact
- The entire activity stream becomes unviewable (UI fails to render).
- New notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all future collaboration on the issue.
Patches
Fixed in 2.27.2.
Workarounds
None
