Synopsis
A remote web application is vulnerable to SQL injection.
Description
The remote host is running a version of phpBB FetchAll older than 2.0.12.
It is reported that this version of phpBB Fetch All is susceptible to a SQL injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a SQL query.
The successful exploitation of this vulnerability depends on the implementation of the web application that includes phpBB Fetch All as a component. It may or may not be possible to effectively pass malicious SQL statements to the underlying function.
Successful exploitation could result in compromise of the application, disclosure or modification of data or may permit an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.
