Exo PHPDesk id Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to generate a SQL error with Exo PHPDesk

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

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

Description :

The remote host is running Exo PHPDesk, a helpdesk application written
in PHP.

The version of Exo PHPDesk on the remote host fails to properly
sanitize input to the 'id' parameter of the 'faq.php' script before
using it in database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc'
setting is disabled, an unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage
this issue to launch SQL injection attacks against the affected
application, leading to discovery of sensitive information, attacks
against the underlying database, and the like.
