MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 3.90%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An XSS issue was discovered in manage_user_page.php in MantisBT 2.x before 2.5.2. The 'filter' field is not sanitized before being rendered in the Manage User page, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code if CSP is disabled.
