Plogger plog-rss.php id Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 29746

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host appears to be running Plogger, an open source photo gallery written in PHP.

The version of Plogger installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'id' parameter of the 'plog-rss.php' script before using it in a database query. Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' and 'register_globals' settings, 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 Plogger 1.0 beta 3.0 if necessary and apply change set 489.
