Security

Anti-spam

  • New captcha with audio-output support.
  • Rate limiting - For MantisBT instances that enable signup, using captchas protects against bots. However, a human can create an account that then can be used to spam a bug tracker and its users. In this release, we have applied limits to # of changes per hour for actions like create issues, create notes, add tags and upload files. These limits are only applied for instances that have signup enabled and for users who have the default signup access level or below.
