What is CVE-2025-47776?

Mantis Bug Tracker is susceptible to an authentication bypass due to improper comparison logic in its authentication protocol. The vulnerability arises from the use of loose comparisons (==) instead of strict comparisons (===) within the authentication code in versions 2.27.1 and earlier. This flaw enables attackers who are aware of a user's username to log in without knowing the actual password, provided they have a password hash that evaluates to zero. Specifically, any input that matches the MD5 hash in scientific notation can lead to unauthorized access. The issue has been addressed and resolved in version 2.27.2.
