Thyme event_view.php eid Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 25199

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Thyme, a web-based calendar.

The version of Thyme installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'eid' parameter of the 'event_view.php' script before using it to build a database query. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this issue to launch SQL injection attacks against the affected application, leading to discovery of sensitive information, attacks against the underlying database, and the like.

Solution

Update Thyme as described in the vendor advisory referenced above.
