{"id":"GHSA-v84x-qvhg-f36r","summary":"MantisBT: Remote Code Execution via eval() Class Hoisting in adm_config_set.php","details":"MantisBT 2.28.3 and earlier contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the admin \"Manage Configuration\" feature (adm_config_set.php). When setting a configuration value with a non-string type (integer, float, complex), the value is passed through ConfigParser -\u003e Tokenizer, which calls *eval()* with a `return;` prefix intended to prevent code execution.\n\nHowever, PHP hoists function and class declarations at compile time, even past a *return* statement. An attacker can define a class in the eval()'d code that hijacks a class loaded later via PHP's autoloader, achieving arbitrary code execution.\n\nThis vulnerability requires administrator access to the web UI (adm_config_set.php). The REST API's ConfigsSetCommand does NOT use Tokenizer/eval() and is not affected.\n\n### Impact\n- Remote code execution as the web server user (www-data) from an authenticated administrator session\n\n### Patches\n- https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/78c0af63d1fe0118004744cab21ca3bf2cea0f5c\n\n### Workarounds\nNone. \n\n### Resources\n- https://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=37122\n\n### Credits\nMcCaulay Hudson (@_McCaulay) of watchTowr","aliases":["CVE-2026-49273"],"modified":"2026-07-15T17:11:43.450788Z","published":"2026-07-15T16:52:24Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-95"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-07-15T16:52:24Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/security/advisories/GHSA-v84x-qvhg-f36r"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/78c0af63d1fe0118004744cab21ca3bf2cea0f5c"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=37122"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"mantisbt/mantisbt","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/mantisbt/mantisbt"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"1.3.0"},{"fixed":"2.28.4"}]}],"versions":["2.10.0","2.10.1","2.11.0","2.11.1","2.12.0","2.12.1","2.12.2","2.13.0","2.13.1","2.13.2","2.14.0","2.15.0","2.15.1","2.16.0","2.16.1","2.17.0","2.17.1","2.17.2","2.18.0","2.18.1","2.19.0","2.19.1","2.20.0","2.20.1","2.21.0","2.21.1","2.21.2","2.21.3","2.22.0","2.22.1","2.22.2","2.23.0","2.23.1","2.24.0","2.24.1","2.24.2","2.24.3","2.24.4","2.24.5","2.25.0","2.25.1","2.25.2","2.25.3","2.25.4","2.25.5","2.25.6","2.25.7","2.25.8","2.26.0","2.26.1","2.26.2","2.26.3","2.26.4","2.27.0","2.27.1","2.27.2","2.27.3","2.28.0","2.28.1","2.28.2","2.28.3","2.3.0","2.3.1","2.3.2","2.3.3","2.4.0","2.4.1","2.4.2","2.5.0","2.5.1","2.5.2","2.6.0","2.7.0","2.7.1","2.8.0","2.8.1","2.9.0","2.9.1"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 2.28.3","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/07/GHSA-v84x-qvhg-f36r/GHSA-v84x-qvhg-f36r.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
