Pixelpost index.php parent_id Parameter SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29995

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Pixelpost, a photo blog application based on PHP and MySQL.

The version of Pixelpost installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'parent_id' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it to perform database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, 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

Unknown at this time.
