LifeType date Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to exploit SQL injection issue in LifeType

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 remote host is running LifeType, an open-source blogging platform
written in PHP.

The version of LifeType installed on the remote fails to sanitize
user-supplied input to the 'date' parameter of the 'index.php' script
before using it to construct database queries. Regardless of PHP's
'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit
this flaw to manipulate database queries and, for example, recover the
administrator's password hash.
