Invision Power Board classes/class_session.php CLIENT_IP HTTP Header SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 22089

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its banner, the installation of Invision Power Board on the remote host reportedly fails to sanitize input to the 'CLIENT_IP' HTTP request header before using it in database queries. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to disclose sensitive information, modify data, or launch attacks against the underlying database.

Note that it's unclear whether successful exploitation depends on any PHP settings, such as 'magic_quotes'.

Solution

Upgrade to Invision Power Board 2.1.7 or later.
