high Nessus Plugin ID 21053

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of MyBB installed on the remote host is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'comma' cookie used by several scripts. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate SQL queries, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information and modification of data.

Note that successful exploitation requires that PHP's 'register_globals' setting be enabled.

Solution

Disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting.
