CVE-2013-1932
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the configuration report page (adm_config_report.php) in MantisBT 1.2.13 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a project name.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in MantisBT 1.2.13 within the configuration report page (adm_config_report.php). Authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the project name parameter.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm MantisBT installationLocate the MantisBT web application directory and identify the installed version file (typically found in a version.php file, config file, or within the PHP source). Compare the installed version to 1.2.13.Affected if The installed MantisBT version is exactly 1.2.13.
-
Verify vulnerable script existsCheck if the file adm_config_report.php exists within the MantisBT installation directory (typically in the root or admin/ directory).Affected if The file adm_config_report.php exists and is accessible via the web server.
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledVerify that MantisBT user authentication is active (check config configuration or that user login functionality is operational).Affected if Users can authenticate to the MantisBT instance.
-
Identify project configuration accessCheck if the configuration report page (adm_config_report.php) is accessible to authenticated users by attempting to access it or reviewing the page's access control configuration.Affected if Authenticated users can access or submit data to the adm_config_report.php page.
A user is affected if they are running MantisBT version 1.2.13 with authenticated access to the configuration report page (adm_config_report.php) where project names can be submitted.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply input validation and output encoding to the project name field in adm_config_report.php to prevent script injection. Consider using MantisBT's built-in sanitization functions or standard PHP XSS prevention techniques.
