Due to insufficient access-level checks, any non-admin user having access to manageconfigcolumnspage.php_ (typically project managers having MANAGER role) can use the Copy From action to retrieve the columns configuration from a private project they have no access to.
Access to the reverse operation (Copy To) is correctly controlled, i.e. it is not possible to alter the private project's configuration.
The vulnerability will be fixed in MantisBT version 2.27.2.
