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 MySQLs "connect file read" feature to remotely access files on the MantisBT server.
