Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6720-1 advisory.

 input sent through request parameters to the graph_view.php script.

 SQL injection attacks.
