Website Baker REMEMBER_KEY Cookie SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to bypass authentication with Website Baker

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 Website Baker, a PHP-based content
management system.

The installed version of Website Baker fails to validate input to the
'REMEMBER_KEY' cookie before using it in 'framework/class.login.php'
to construct SQL queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting
is disabled, an unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this
issue to manipulate database queries, possibly to gain administrative
access to the application or launch other sorts of SQL injection
attacks against the affected host.
