MailWatch authenticate Function SQL Injection Vulnerability |
||
|
Checks for authentication function SQL injection vulnerability in MailWatch 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 appears to be running MailWatch, a web-based frontend to MailScanner written in PHP. The version of MailWatch installed on the remote host fails to sanitize the username and password before using them in database queries in the 'authenticate' function of 'functions.php'. This issue can be exploited, if PHP's 'magic_quotes' setting is disabled, to launch SQL injection attacks against the affected application to, for example, bypass authentication and thereby gain administrative access to the application. Solution : Upgrade to MailWatch 1.0.3 or later. Network Security Threat Level: Medium / CVSS Base Score : 6 (AV:R/AC:H/Au:NR/C:P/A:P/I:P/B:N) Networks Security ID: 15278 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Tenable Network Security |
