Burning Board boardids Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to generate a SQL error

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

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

Description :

The version of Burning Board / Burning Board Lite on the remote host
fails to sanitize user input to the 'boardids' parameter of the
'search.php' script before using it in database queries. Regardless
of PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings, an
unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this issue to launch SQL
injection attacks against the affected application, including
discovery of password hashes of users of the application.
