high Nessus Plugin ID 43827

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP script that is susceptible to a SQL injection attack.

Description

The version of Snitz Forums 2000 hosted on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'X-Forwarded-For' header in the 'active.asp' script when called with the 'AllRead' POST parameter set to 'Y' before using it to construct a database query.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to manipulate SQL queries and, for example, modify data or uncover sensitive information from the application's database.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
