boastMachine mail.php id Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 30052

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running boastMachine, an open source publishing tool written in PHP.

The version of boastMachine installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'id' parameter of the 'mail.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, or even attack the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
