What is CVE-2008-4687?

The vulnerability found in Mantis Bug Tracker prior to version 1.1.4 allows remote authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. This exploitation occurs through manipulation of the 'sort' parameter within 'manage_proj_page.php', leading to unsafe processing in the 'multi_sort' function of 'core/utility_api.php'. By exploiting this flaw, malicious users can potentially gain unauthorized access and control over the affected system.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
