MyReview Admin.php email Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 22413

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running MyReview, an open source paper submission and review web application.

The version of MyReview installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize input to the 'email' parameter before using it in the 'GetMember' function in a database query. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' and 'register_globals' settings, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to uncover sensitive information such as password hashes, modify data, launch attacks against the underlying database, etc.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
