ArtForms Component for Joomla! 'viewform' Parameter SQLi

high Nessus Plugin ID 47700

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of the ArtForms component for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'viewform' parameter when 'task=ferforms' before using it to construct database queries. Regardless of the PHP 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or other attacks against the underlying database.

Note that this component is likely to be affected by other issues, such as directory traversal, cross-site scripting, and other SQL injection vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not checked for these.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
