AI-suggested

Upgrade MantisBT to version 2.27.2 or later, where this issue is fixed. No workarounds are available. Applying the official patch fully mitigates the vulnerability.

Description

MantisBT versions prior to 2.27.2 allow users to change their email address without verifying ownership. This can lead to storing invalid email addresses or addresses belonging to others, potentially causing information disclosure through misdirected notifications. The issue is fixed in version 2.27.2.
