Directory traversal vulnerability in core/lang_api.php in Mantis before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary files via the language parameter to the user preferences page (account_prefs_update.php).
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
