Mambo Open Source usercookie Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to bypass authentication in Mambo Open Source Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a SQL injection attack. Description : The remote installation of Mambo Open Source fails to sanitize input to the 'usercookie' cookie array before using it in a database query to authenticate a user. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, a possible hacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries and, for example, bypass authentication and gain administrative access to the affected application.
