GHSA-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf
Fix: mantisbt/mantisbt@de7bdeeGHSA-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf is a security vulnerability in mantisbt/mantisbt. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
MantisBT has an authorization bypass that allows reading attachments after losing access to a private issue
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
MantisBT permits a user to list and download their own attachments from an Issue created by another user, even after that Issue becomes private and direct access to it is denied.
Impact
The loss of confidentiality caused by this vulnerability is minimal, considering that only the attachments that were previously uploaded by the user themselves remains accessible.

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-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf 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-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf 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-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf. 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-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-rmp5-5jj7-gmvf across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
