Seditio plug.php pag_sub Parameter SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 28375

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Seditio installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'pag_sub' parameter of the '/plug.php' script when used in conjunction with the search action before using it in a database query. 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

Upgrade to Seditio version 121 released on 2007-11-30 or later.

Note that the authors have released an update that addresses this issue without changing the version number. Verify that 'Updated' in the comment at the top of '/plugins/search/search.php' is '2007-nov-30' or later.
