eggBlog index.php eggblogpassword Parameter Cookie SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29927

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running eggBlog, a free PHP and MySQL blog software package.

The version of eggBlog installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'eggblogpassword' cookie before using it in '_etc/header.php' to construct database queries. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries to disclose sensitive information, bypass authentication, modify data, or even attack the underlying database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
