CVE-2014-9572
MantisBT before 1.2.19 and 1.3.x before 1.3.0-beta.2 does not properly restrict access to /*/install.php, which allows remote attackers to obtain database credentials via the install parameter with the value 4.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
