Super Simple Blog Script entry Parameter SQL Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 50048

Language:

Synopsis

A PHP application hosted on the remote web server is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The remote Super Simple Blog Script install hosted on the remote web server is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability because its 'comments.php' script does not properly sanitize input to the 'entry' parameter before using it a database query.

Regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting, an unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this issue to manipulate database queries, leading to disclosure of sensitive information, attacks against the underlying database, and the like.

Note that the application may also be affected by a related local file inclusion vulnerability, although Nessus has not checked for that.

Solution

Upgrade to Super Simple Blog Script 2.56 or later.
