GForge top/topusers.php offset Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 34399

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running GForge, an open source, web-based project management and collaboration software.

The installed version of GForge fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'offset' parameter in the 'top/topusers.php' script before using it in a database query. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information or attacks against the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
