X7 Chat index.php day Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 29981

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running X7 Chat, a web-based chat program written in PHP.

The version of X7 Chat installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'day' parameter of the 'index.php' script when 'page' is set to 'event' before using it in 'sources/info_box.php' to construct database queries. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries to disclose sensitive information, bypass authentication, modify data, or even attack the underlying database.

Solution

Upgrade to X7 Chat 2.0.5.1 or later.
