RTH login.php uname Parameter SQL Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 33860

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running RTH, a web-based software testing framework written in PHP.

The version of RTH installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'uname' array parameter of the 'login.php' script before using it in a database query. Provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an attacker can leverage this issue to manipulate database queries and gain administrative access to the application or launch other sorts of SQL injection attacks against the affected host.

Note that there is also reportedly an information disclosure issue associated with similar versions of RTH that could be used to download arbitrary files from the remote host without authentication. Nessus has not, though, checked for those other issues.

Solution

Upgrade to RTH version 1.7.0 or later.
