Description:
seiji has discovered a vulnerability in Mantis, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.8. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.1.0.
