Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

MantisBT, as the Packagist package mantisbt/mantisbt before 2.28.2, lets a user keep listing and downloading attachments they uploaded to an issue created by someone else, even after that issue becomes private and the user no longer has direct access. An attacker needs only a prior account that was able to upload to the issue, and the source says the confidentiality impact is minimal because only the user's own previously uploaded attachments remain reachable. Upgrade to version 2.28.2, which contains the fix; the source lists no workarounds.
