MantisBT Release Notes
======================

1.2.13 Security Release (2012-01-22)
-------------------------------------------------

MantisBT 1.2.13 is a security update for the stable 1.2.x branch. All
installations that are currently running any 1.2.x version are strongly advised
to upgrade to this release.

Two cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability issues affecting MantisBT 1.2.12
only (earlier versions are not impacted) were discovered:

- A malicious person could trick a target user's browser into executing
arbitrary JavaScript code (CVE-2013-0197). This vulnerability is
critical, due to the affected page (search.php) being usable anonymously
on public-facing installations (i.e. without the need for a user login).
Refer to issue #15373 for detailed information.

- A user holding manager/administrator permissions could create a
category or project name containing JavaScript code; from that point on,
visitors to the Summary page (summary.php) are exposed to having the
JavaScript execute within their browser environment. The severity of this
issue is mitigated by the need to have a privileged account to modify
category and project names.
Refer to issue #15384 for detailed information.

A workflow-related security issue was also fixed:

- A user with "Reporter" permissions can modify the workflow status of any
issue to "New" even if they do not have the necessary privileges to make
this change.
Refer to issue #15258 for detailed information.

In addition to the corrections for the above-mentioned security issues, this
release also includes several bug fixes and enhancements:

- improved Manage Configuration page (better performance, ability to filter
and edit config options)
- support for the built-in SOAP extension in addition to nusoap
- updated translations in many languages

A full changelog for the 1.2.x series can be found on the official site. [1]

Are you guys aware of the fact that your download docs ( http://www.mantisbt.org/download.php ) are redirecting to https://sourceforge.net/projects/mantisbt/files/mantis-stable/ with a link named "Download MantisBT 1.2.13", your announcement mail already hit the users inboxes, but the 1.2.13 - sourceforge - folder is still empty?
Noone who doesn't know of Git and this Repo will be able to do the update currently.
