MDPro index.php topicid Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 25993

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running MDPro, an open source content management system written in PHP.

The version of MDPro installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'topicid' parameter before using it in the 'topics_userapi_get' function in 'modules/Topics/pnuserapi.php' to generate database queries. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate those queries, which could lead to disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or attacks against the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
