DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in MantisBT, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed via the "name" parameter to manage_proj_cat_add.php when
creating a project category is not properly sanitised before being
used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation requires "manager" permissions.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
