PunBB < 1.2.2 Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 17224

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of PunBB that fails to properly sanitize user-input to several scripts thereby enabling an attacker to launch various SQL injection attacks.

In addition, the profile.php script enables anyone to call the change_pass action while specifying the id of an existing user to set their password to NULL, effectively shutting them out of the system.

Solution

Upgrade to PunBB 1.2.2 or later.
