Meeting Room Booking System (MRBS) month.php area Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 35600

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Meeting Room Booking System (MRBS), a PHP application for booking meeting rooms or other resources.

The version of MRBS installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'area' parameter of the 'month.php' script before using it to construct database queries. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, leading to disclosure of sensitive information or attacks against the underlying database.

Note that the application's 'day.php' and 'week.php'' scripts are also reportedly affected by the same issue, although Nessus has not checked them.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
