There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness in GitHub repository adodb/adodb prior to 5.20.21.
    (CVE-2021-3850)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6825-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the PDO driver in ADOdb was incorrectly handling string quotes. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to

    perform SQL injection attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-7405)

    It was discovered that ADOdb was incorrectly handling GET parameters in

    test.php. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute

    cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu

    16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-4855)

    Emmet Leahy discovered that ADOdb was incorrectly handling string quotes in PostgreSQL connections. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication. (CVE-2021-3850)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5101 advisory.

    Emmet Leahy reported that libphp-adodb, a PHP database abstraction layer library, allows to inject values     into a PostgreSQL connection string. Depending on how the library is used this flaw can result in     authentication bypass, reveal a server IP address or have other unspecified impact. For the oldstable     distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 5.20.14-1+deb10u1. For the stable     distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 5.20.19-1+deb11u1. We recommend that you     upgrade your libphp-adodb packages. For the detailed security status of libphp-adodb please refer to its     security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libphp-adodb

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2912 advisory.

    It was found that in libphp-adodb, a PHP database abstraction layer library, an attacker can inject values     into the PostgreSQL connection string by bypassing adodb_addslashes(). The function can be bypassed in     phppgadmin, for example, by surrounding the username in quotes and submitting with other parameters     injected in between. For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 5.20.9-1+deb9u1. We     recommend that you upgrade your libphp-adodb packages. For the detailed security status of libphp-adodb     please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libphp-adodb     Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and     frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
