Pligg evb/check_url.php url Parameter SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 35262

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Pligg, an open source content management system.

The installed version of Pligg fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'url' parameter of the 'evb/check_url.php' script before using it to construct database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, leading to disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or attacks against the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
