FlexCMS Login Cookie SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 40824

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running FlexCMS, a content management system written in PHP. The version of the FlexCMS installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input passed to the login cookie 'FCLoginData12345' before using it in database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, leading to disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or attacks against the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
