Subject: [PATCH] Fix XSS in adm_config_report.php's action parameter

Yelin and Zhangdongsheng from VenusTech http://www.venustech.com.cn/
reported a vulnerability in the Configuration Report page, allowing an
attacker to inject arbitrary code through a crafted 'action' parameter.

Define a new set of constants (MANAGE_CONFIG_ACTION_*) replacing the
hardcoded strings used in adm_config_report.php and adm_config_set.php.

Sanitize the 'action' parameter to ensure it is only set to one of the
allowed values

Good job Damien.
We confirmed that the taint 'action' parameter is sanitized by the patch's White list validation.
We keep on pivoting Mantis security issues.
When we insights, we will share.
Bests,
