GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8
Fix: mantisbt/mantisbt@26647b2GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in mantisbt/mantisbt. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
MantisBT Vulnerable to Stored XSS in File Download
Real-World Exposure
mantisbt/mantisbtReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Using show_inline=1 parameter and a valid file_show_inline_token CSRF token on file_download.php, an attacker can execute code by uploading a crafted XHTML attachment referencing a JavaScript attachment.
Impact
Cross-site scripting

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mantisbt/mantisbt. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update mantisbt/mantisbt to 2.28.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-p6fr-rxq7-xcg8 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
