If after successful installation of MantisBT through 2.5.2 on MySQL/MariaDB the administrator does not remove the ‘admin’ directory (as recommended in the \Post-installation and upgrade tasks\ section of the MantisBT Admin Guide) and the MySQL client has a local_infile setting enabled (in php.ini mysqli.allow_local_infile or the MySQL client config file depending on the PHP setup) an attacker may take advantage of MySQL’s \connect file read\ feature to remotely access files on the MantisBT server.
