Owl Intranet Engine <= 0.91 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for SQL injection flaw in Owl Intranet Engine

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to
several issues.

Description :

The remote host is running Owl Intranet Engine, a web-based document
management system written in PHP.

The version of Owl Intranet Engine on the remote host fails to
sanitize input to the session id cookie before using it in a database
query. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an
unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to uncover
sensitive information such as password hashes, modify data, launch
attacks against the underlying database, etc.

In addition, the application reportedly suffers from at least one
cross-site scripting issue.
