Geeklog Admin Authentication SQL Injection Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to bypass administrative authentication in Geeklog Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an authentication bypass issue. Description : The remote host is running Geeklog, an open-source weblog powered by PHP and MySQL. The version of Geeklog installed on the remote fails to sanitize input to the 'loginname' and 'passwd' parameters before using it in the script 'admin/auth.inc.php' to construct database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to bypass authentication and gain administrative access.
