Checks for SQL injection vulnerability in Exhibit Engine's list.php

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is vulnerable to
SQL injection attacks.

Description :

The remote host is running Exhibit Engine, a web-based photo gallery

vulnerability due to its failure to sanitize user-supplied input to
various parameters of the 'list.php' script. A possible hacker can exploit
these flaws to inject arbitrary SQL statements into the affected
application, possibly even reading arbitrary database entries.
