Pixelpost < 1.5 RC1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Tries to inject SQL code via Pixelpost's showimage parameter Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from multiple vulnerabilities. Description : The remote host is running Pixelpost, a photo blog application based on PHP and MySQL. The version of Pixelpost installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'showimage' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it to construct database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary SQL code and thereby uncover sensitive information such as authentication credentials, launch attacks against the underlying database application, etc. In addition, the application reportedly contains a similar SQL injection flaw involving the 'USER_AGENT', 'HTTP_REFERER' and 'HTTP_HOST' variables used in 'includes/functions.php', a cross-site scripting issue involving the comment, name, url, and email values when commenting on a post, and an information disclosure flaw involving direct requests to 'includes/phpinfo.php'.
