## Description

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MantisBT Move Attachments
page (move\_attachments\_page.php, part of admin tools) allows remote
attackers to inject arbitrary code through a crafted 'type' parameter, if
Content Security Protection (CSP) settings allows it. This is fixed in
1.3.9, 2.1.3, and 2.2.3. Note that this vulnerability is not exploitable if
the admin tools directory is removed, as recommended in the
"Post-installation and upgrade tasks" of the MantisBT Admin Guide. A
reminder to do so is also displayed on the login page.
