Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running WP-Forum, a third-party discussion forum plugin for WordPress.

The version of WP-Forum installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'thread' parameter of the 'forum_feed.php' script before using it in a database query. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information, the modification of data, or attacks against the underlying database.
