Geeklog auth.inc.php loginname Parameter SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21619

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an authentication bypass issue.

Description

The version of Geeklog installed on the remote fails to sanitize input to the 'loginname' and 'passwd' parameters before using it in the script 'admin/auth.inc.php' to construct database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to bypass authentication and gain administrative access.

Solution

Upgrade to Geeklog 1.3.11sr6 / 1.4.0sr3 or later.
