WoltLab Burning Board Lite wbb_userid Parameter PHP Unset SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 23734

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The remote version of Burning Board Lite fails to sanitize input to the 'wbb_userid' parameter before using it in a database query. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled and 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to uncover sensitive information (such as password hashes), modify existing data, or launch attacks against the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
