What is CVE-2022-33910?
An XSS vulnerability exists in MantisBT versions prior to 2.25.5, allowing remote attackers to exploit the system by attaching crafted SVG documents to issue reports or bug notes. When these attachments are clicked by users or administrators, the vulnerable file_download.php script opens the SVG document directly in a browser tab, leading to the execution of malicious JavaScript code. This could compromise user data and application security, highlighting the importance of timely updates and security awareness.
