CVE-2020-29604

Medium
6.5/10

Summary

An issue was discovered in MantisBT. A missing access check in `bug_actiongroup.php` allows an attacker (with rights to create new issues) to use the COPY group action to create a clone, including all `bugnotes` and `attachments`, of any private issue (i.e., one having private view status, or belonging to a private project) via the `bug_arr[]` parameter. This provides full access to potentially confidential information. This vulnerability affects mantisbt/mantisbt package version prior to 2.24.4.
