sBLOG keyword Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for keyword parameter SQL injection in sBLOG

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to SQL
injection attacks.

Description :

The remote host is running sBLOG, a PHP-based blog application.

The installed version of sBLOG fails to validate user input to the
'keyword' parameter of the 'search.php' script before using it to
generate database queries. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc'
setting, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to
manipulate database queries to, for instance, bypass authentication,
disclose sensitive information, modify data, or launch attacks against
the underlying database.
