UBB.threads editpost.php Number Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 17316

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to SQL injection attacks.

Description

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of UBB.threads that fails to sufficiently sanitize the 'Number' parameter before using it in SQL queries in the 'editpost.php' script. As a result, a remote attacker can pass malicious input to database queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database itself.

Solution

Upgrade to UBB.threads version 6.5.1.1 or greater.
