CVE-2025-46556 – MantisBT is Vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack via Excessive Note Length

CVE ID : CVE-2025-46556

Published : Nov. 4, 2025, 12:20 a.m. | 1 hour, 7 minutes ago

Description : Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) is an open source issue tracker. Versions 2.27.1 and below allow attackers to permanently corrupt issue activity logs by submitting extremely long notes (tested with 4,788,761 characters) due to a lack of server-side validation of note length. Once such a note is added, the activity stream UI fails to render; therefore, new notes cannot be displayed, effectively breaking all future collaboration on the issue. This issue is fixed in version 2.27.2.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
