OrangeHRM login.php txtUserName Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 24743

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running OrangeHRM, a human resource management system written in PHP.

The version of OrangeHRM installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'txtUserName' parameter of the 'login.php' script before using it in a database query. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this flaw to manipulate SQL queries and, for example, bypass authentication, uncover sensitive information, modify data, or even launch attacks against the underlying database.

Note that successful exploitation of this issue requires that PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' be disabled.

Solution

Upgrade to OrangeHRM 2.1 alpha 5 or later.
