phpMyWebHosting Authentication SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 16208

Language:

Synopsis

Arbitrary SQL statements may be executed on the remote database.

Description

The remote host is running PHPMyWebHosting, a web hosting management interface written in PHP.

The remote version of this software does not perform a proper validation of user-supplied input and is, therefore, vulnerable to a SQL injection attack.

An attacker may execute arbitrary SQL statements against the remote database by sending a malformed username containing SQL escape characters when logging into the remote interface in 'login.php'.

Solution

None at this time.
