Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to a
SQL injection attack.

Description :

'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.
