CVE-2005-2556
core/database_api.php in Mantis 0.19.0a1 through 1.0.0a3, with register_globals enabled, allows remote attackers to connect to internal databases by modifying the g_db_type variable and monitoring the speed of responses, as identified by bug#0005956.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
