Update config_inc.php

If you want paste images from clipboard you should enable blob(base64) images in your content security policy
In your config_inc.php add line

$g_custom_headers = array( 'Content-Security-Policy: ' . "default-src *; img-src 'self' blob: data:; script-src 'self'; style-src  'self' 'unsafe-inline' *"  );

Update bug_api.php

If you want to save images as bug attachments (recommended) you should patch MantisBT code. It is required for hide files generated from TinyMCE. Open core/bug_api.php file and find bug_get_attachments function.
Add marked lines at the beginning code (around 1900 line code)

function bug_get_attachments( $p_bug_id ) {
    $p_bug_id = (int)$p_bug_id;

    global $g_cache_bug_attachments;
    if( isset( $g_cache_bug_attachments[$p_bug_id] ) ) {
        return $g_cache_bug_attachments[$p_bug_id];
    }

#VEditor begin
        if (function_exists('veditor_bug_get_attachments')) {
           return veditor_bug_get_attachments($p_bug_id);
        }
#VEditor end
