What is CVE-2022-28508?

An XSS vulnerability exists in MantisBT prior to version 2.25.2 within the 'browser_search_plugin.php' file. The flaw arises from the unescaped output of the return parameter, which could allow an attacker to inject malicious code into a hidden input field. This could lead to unauthorized script execution in the context of a user's session, posing significant security risks.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
