CVE-2014-6316
core/string_api.php in MantisBT before 1.2.18 does not properly categorize URLs when running under the web root, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect and phishing attacks via a crafted URL in the return parameter to login_page.php.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
