Description
The mc_issue_update() function in MantisBT allows users having update_bug_threshold access (UPDATER, with default settings) to edit, change view state, and modify time tracking on bugnotes belonging to other users — bypassing the default DEVELOPER (level 55) threshold required by the dedicated mc_issue_note_update() function.
Impact
- UPDATER can edit notes by DEVELOPER/MANAGER/ADMIN — bypassing the DEVELOPER threshold
- UPDATER can change private notes to public — exposing confidential internal discussion
- UPDATER can change public notes to private — hiding information from reporters/viewers
