How to fix?

Upgrade mantisbt/mantisbt to version 2.24.4 or higher.

Overview

mantisbt/mantisbt is a mantis bug tracker.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization due to insufficient access-level checks in the bug_actiongroup_page.php URL. An attacker can gain access to the Summary fields of private Issues by crafting a URL with bug_arr[] parameter. This is only exploitable if the attacker is a logged-in user allowed to perform Group Actions.
